Historic Gems: 7 Storied Key Hotels in Berlin

"A luxury hotel in the middle of the city — where you can sleep with the window open and wake up to the sounds of exotic animals. We’re confident you'll only find this at So/ Berlin Das Stue. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in Berlin's embassy district, this extraordinary hotel offers an impressive view of the Tiergarten park and the Berlin skyline. The listed building dates to the 1930s, once hosted the Danish embassy, and is now a favorite retreat for international travelers the world over. In the hotel, whose name means “parlor,” coziness is a top priority. The atmosphere combines the feeling of a well-designed Scandinavian living room with certain Spanish accents, and guests will notice too the crocodile, giraffe and elephant sculptures throughout the hotel. These are a bold artistic tribute to the neighboring Berlin Zoo, to which you even have exclusive access as a guest of the hotel." - The MICHELIN Guide
