The house
RadissonLiving atrium spectacle
A soaring glass roof and a towering vertical garden give this riverfront hotel an open, botanical energy.
What it’s good at
Listed
Riverfront rooms with cathedral views, marble-tiled rain showers, and pillow selection menus.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This Radisson’s calling card—a spectacular 264,000-gallon cylindrical aquarium containing 2,500 tropical fish—is actually the least compelling reason to like it.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Berlin Cathedral and Museum Island sit directly across the water, with Hackescher Markt a short walk away.
The rooms
Bedrooms look out over the Spree toward the cathedral, or face inward across the green atrium.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits between round concrete pillars, flanked by textured stone walls and white padded loungers.
The saunas
Two wooden sauna cabins, including a Finnish sauna, feature tiered benches and warm backlighting across slatted timber walls.
The gym and spa
The 24-hour gym holds cardio and strength equipment, alongside quiet relaxation daybeds and treatment rooms for massages.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
San Éna
San Éna serves contemporary Greek and Mediterranean sharing plates across dining rooms fitted with fluted banquettes and lush greenery.
Atrium Bar & Lounge
The curved backlit bar sits beneath the Living Tree vertical garden, pouring signature cocktails and natural wines.
How it began
The 24-meter Living Tree vertical garden was engineered onto the massive concrete base of the hotel's former aquarium.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

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