Top choice in Berlin
This charismatic refuge in a 1930s Danish diplomatic outpost flaunts understated grandeur and has the Tiergarten park as a front yard. A crocodile sculpture flanked by sweeping staircases fluidly leads the way to a cool bar, a Michelin-starred restaurant and sleekly furnished and oversized rooms (some with terrace or balcony). The elegant spa has a pool, a sauna and top-notch massages.
Optional breakfast is €35.
