"The newest in the hip German mini-chain Amano Group, the AMO opened in June 2019 in a converted office building. Turn off bustling Friedrichstrasse and walk through a small courtyard, where you’ll spot a glass elevator. One level down you’ll step into an underground lobby—the first of its kind in Berlin—a sprawling, thoroughly glam space outfitted with plush velvet seating, brass-accented glass tables, shelves of art tomes, and a groovy, gold-tiled gas fireplace. The breakfast area is behind heavy velvet curtains off of the lobby, and the bar is tucked around the corner." - Jennifer Ceaser
