Friedrichshain


This riverside behemoth bills itself as a 'music and lifestyle' hotel and underscores the point by offering two recording studios and e-guitar rentals. The look is definitely dynamic, with a sideways tower jutting out over the Spree and Karim Rashid's digi-pop-pink design. Kudos to the restaurant with riverside terrace and the party-people-friendly late Sunday checkout. Massive breakfast buffet is €24 (served till 3pm).
