"With an exceptional location on Monbijoupark in the Mitte district, this grand neo-Baroque building once housed the city’s vast telegraph office—built between 1910 and 1916, and at one time the most sophisticated postal building in Germany. It has since been meticulously restored and transformed into a posh destination for discerning travelers looking to stay close to a huge selection of trendy restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as beloved Hackeshe Höfe's old courtyards-turned-commercial spaces. The 97 guest rooms all have an industrial look, with brick-barrel vaulted ceilings divided by metal beams and exposed brick walls. Art Deco design elements like illuminated glass capsules, which display the room numbers, nod toward the building’s history, and hanging lamps adorn each side of the bed like a movie star’s chandelier earrings. Though occupied by digital nomads during the day, the bar at ROOT buzzes after dark, and a DJ spins techno beats nightly starting at 8:00 p.m.—this is Berlin, after all. —Liz Humphreys"
