Berlin
This Scandinavian import gets kudos for its central location and spacious blond-wood rooms with box-spring beds, panoramic windows with blackout curtains and for going the extra mile when it comes to being green. Distinctive features include the good-sized 8th-floor gym-with-a-view, honey from the rooftop beehive and free bikes. Optional (partly organic) breakfast is €14.
In summer kids can romp around a special playground and order from a special-priced kiddie menu. Kids under 13 stay free.
