The 17 Best Hotels in Berlin

"Hotel Oderberger's setting is one of the most splendid in Berlin: It's inside Prenzlauer Berg's landmarked 19th-century Stadtbad Oderberger, a public bathhouse designed by architect Ludwig Hoffmann, who also created the city’s iconic Pergamon Museum. The conversion to a boutique hotel preserved many of the grand building’s original details, most notably the 65-foot-long indoor pool, set beneath a magnificent vaulted stone ceiling and surrounded by massive arched columns and huge, church-like windows. It's the first thing you see when you enter the lobby, and it definitely impresses. The 72 rooms are all unique in layout, and the modern design incorporates historic details in a clever way: original numbered wood doors from the bathing cabins, now glassed in, live on as bathroom doors. Go for the cool historical details and great location in the heart of buzzy Prenzlauer Berg." - Jennifer Ceaser, Liz Humphreys
