The bustling city of Berlin offers plenty to see and do, from gorgeous artwork and incredible museums to history-filled streets and modern architecture. If you ever find yourself in Germany’s vibrant capital city, here are three places to stay, according to our editor.
1️⃣ nhow Berlin (@nhow.berlin) – This distinct, modern property refers to itself as a “music and lifestyle hotel.” Amenities here go beyond the typical free wifi or minibar. Instead, guests can take advantage of the Gibson guitar room service and the two on-site recording studios. Throughout the hotel, you’ll find futuristic-inspired furnishings combined with bright colors and patterns — plus plenty of pops of pinks. n.How also hosts various concerts, exhibitions, seminars, and other creative events throughout the year for guests to enjoy. If you’re feeling creative, call down to room service to have a guitar and keyboard sent to your room for free.
2️⃣ Hotel Zoo (@hotelzooberlin) – This design-forward property is housed in a historic 19th-century structure that was converted into a hotel back in 1911. Today, the hotel boasts 144 distinctly designed rooms (think bespoke furnishings, pink accents, cushioned headboards, free-standing bathtubs, plush armchairs, and dark wooden floor). With its green leather armchairs, exposed brick walls, purple wall panels, and amethyst bar top, the on-site,1920s-inspired Grace Bar is nothing short of stunning. The elegant, uber-chic Grace Restaurant is a must-visit for all foodies. (Don’t miss the miso black cod, Asian-inspired burrata, or creamy rock shrimp.)
3️⃣ 25hours Hotel Bikini (@25hourshotelbikiniberlin) – This centrally located boutique hotel is within walking distance to some of the city’s most popular attractions. Its distinct urban jungle aesthetic is prominent throughout the property (think bold-colored accents and lush greenery). Grab a bite at one of the two on-site eateries, sip a cocktail at the rooftop bar, and savor a fluffy brioche from the hotel bakery. The hotel also offers free bicycle and Mini Cooper rentals.
