The house
Dean GroupEclectic Altbau salon
The hotel operates as an informal Charlottenburg living room, where nineteenth-century residential architecture meets all-day neighbourhood dining.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Deep red vestibules open onto bedrooms with mauve panelling and custom latex pendants.
Listed
A late nineteenth-century Charlottenburg residential building retains its raw plaster and original tiles.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Historic architectural details sit alongside saturated colours, sculptural lighting, and a confident, contemporary design language.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Kurfürstendamm is a short walk away, and the photography exhibitions at C/O Berlin are ten minutes on foot.
The rooms
Handwritten numbers mark each bedroom door. Inside, original black-and-white bathroom tiles contrast with bold red shower frames.
Restaurant
Benedict Berlin
The bakery counter serves fresh pastries each morning, and the dining room pours cocktails along a wooden bar.
Original architectural details collide with punchy colour schemes, sculptural lighting and avant-garde aesthetics, bringing a confident sense of Berlin’s personality into each aspect of the hotel.
How it began
The property marks the Dublin group's first home outside Ireland, filling a former residential building with work from emerging German artists.

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

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