Hotel 26

Friedrichshain


Set back from the street and with a lovely garden out back, this architect-owned hotel in a revamped factory sparkles in happy-mood-inducing citrus colours. Clear lines and blonde-wood furniture dominate both public areas and the rooms. Hotel 26 is a green pioneer where natural soaps, filtered water and a (mostly) organic cafe have been de rigueur since opening in 2003.
