The atmosphere in the rooms and suites, however, is decidedly more low-key, and more contemporary — still classic, still stylistically conservative, but prizing tactile comforts.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly on Potsdamer Platz, the property sits moments from Tiergarten parkland and the museums of the Kulturforum.
The rooms
Geometric headboards and trunk-style honor bars echo silver screen dressing rooms, paired with marble bathrooms and heated floors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath a crystal-chandeliered ceiling, complete with a circular whirlpool and lounge seating.
The spa and gym
A Finnish sauna and steam bath sit beside private massage rooms and a 24-hour Technogym fitness center.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
POTS
Chef Christopher Kujanski reinterprets German classics on sharing plates, served amid beaten copper decor referencing traditional beer kettles.
Step inside a space ensconced in gleaming marble, from the intricately patterned floors to the sweeping staircase, with contemporary furnishings and Art Deco touches…
Bar
The Curtain Club
Curved leather banquettes surround the illuminated Art Deco bar, where bartenders mix cocktails alongside live jazz and soul.
How it began
Erected in 2004 as a neoclassical sandstone tower, the building anchored the architectural revival of post-reunification Potsdamer Platz.
