Grimm's Potsdamer Platz

Berlin


The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm inspired the name and the decor of this cosmopolitan crash pad, which remains mercifully uncluttered and kitsch-free. The 110 rooms feature the latest upscale touches such as floor-heating, box-spring mattresses and an eco-conscious heating and cooling system. The sauna (€12 usage fee) and rooftop terrace are popular regeneration areas. Optional breakfast is €14.
