16 Best Hotels in Berlin—Including Artsy Boutiques and Transformed Bathhouses | Condé Nast Traveler

"The vision of Berlin banker Jörg Woltmann, who helped save the 18th century Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin complex, this ultra-modern, cube-like building has stood since 2019 and has picked up multiple design and architecture prizes, even earning a nomination as Europe’s Leading Design Hotel by the 2021 World Travel Awards. Rooms are minimalist, chic, and smartly designed, with functional desks, high-tech wall control panels, and clever built-ins that make the spaces seem larger than they are—aided by the floor-to-ceiling windows. If weather permits, take advantage of the rooftop terrace with great views over Berlin—just remember to bring your own drinks, as there is no bar. Major sites like Tiergarten and the Berlin Zoo are 10 and 15 minutes by foot, respectively." - Liz Humphreys, Jennifer Ceaser
