"Berlin may be Europe’s current capital of hipness, but its boutique-hotel scene isn’t <em>all</em> freaky furniture and graffiti-emblazoned lofts. A substantial contingent of the city’s hoteliers are embracing coziness, rather than edginess, as their guiding inspiration. And if it weren’t right smack in the mitte of Berlin Mitte, with views of the Berliner Dom, you’d think the Monbijou Hotel were somewhere in Scandinavia, so thoroughly has it embraced the warm-and-cozy vibe that’s all but swept aside the old stereotype of the cold, minimalist design-first boutique hotel." - Tablet Hotels
