The hotel takes over nineteen floors of the Upper West skyscraper, filling a glass high-rise with vintage film props and skyline views.
What it’s good at
Listed
The tenth-floor Panorama Bar serves gin cocktails beside an open terrace over Breitscheidplatz.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Bikini Berlin sits just across the plaza, and the leafy walking paths of the Tiergarten are five minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms are compact and no-frills, keeping the focus on comfortable beds and views over West Berlin.
Dogs stay too.
How it began
The glass tower replaced the 1950s Schimmelpfeng-Haus, a commercial block that bridged Kantstraße and walled off Breitscheidplatz for decades.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
