the rooms and suites are lavishly furnished and pleasingly colorful, more vibrant than the ‘quiet luxury’ beige favored by some other big names.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Berlin Zoo and Tiergarten sit across the street, with Kurfürstendamm's luxury boutiques just around the corner.
The rooms
Marble bathrooms have deep Kaldewei soaking tubs and in-mirror screens, and floor-to-ceiling windows look over City West.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool curves in the shape of a cloud, lined with turquoise mosaics under sculptural lighting.
The spa
Five treatment suites with natural daylight host BABOR skincare therapies and bodywork across the fifth floor.
Sauna and gym
A tiered Finnish sauna sits beside a 24-hour fitness studio equipped with Technogym machines and picture windows.
Dogs stay too.
Lang Bar
Named for director Fritz Lang, this Art Deco lounge has curved green marble counters and blue velvet Pullman booths.
Business execs and a sophisticated international clientele mix and mingle over cocktails or afternoon tea in the lobby’s plush, Art Deco-inspired Peacock Alley…
Restaurant
Times Square
Morning buffets are served in a dining room set with purple velvet banquettes and white-clothed tables.
