Savoy Hotel Berlin

City West & Charlottenburg


There’s something charmingly old-school about this petite 1929 hotel, which has comfortably housed Greta Garbo, writer Thomas Mann and Talking Heads' David Byrne. The handsome rooms are classically furnished; some in the superior category have canopy beds and air-con. The superb breakfast (€21) is served in the lavish red-and-gold 'salon' with original 1930s chandeliers and stucco ornamentation.
