Tiergarten

SO/ Berlin Das Stue

Das Stue occupies a 1930s former Danish Embassy building in the Tiergarten, its 78 rooms designed by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola in a style that's contemporary, warm, and genuinely singular. The hotel backs onto the Berlin Zoological Garden; the Cinco restaurant holds a Michelin star for Sebastian Frank's Austrian-inflected cooking. One of Berlin's most quietly brilliant hotels.

Mitte — Gendarmenmarkt

Regent Berlin

The Regent Berlin faces the Gendarmenmarkt — arguably Europe's most beautiful baroque square — and delivers classical luxury in a 195-room property with a notably calm atmosphere. The Charlotte & Fritz restaurant is one of Mitte's better hotel dining rooms, and the location gives immediate access to Berlin's finest arts and cultural institutions. The quieter, more refined alternative to the Adlon.
