Drakestraße 1, 10787 Berlin, Germany Get directions

"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

"An enviable location in the quietly upscale embassy quarter on the edge of sprawling Tiergarten Park is only part of SO BerlinDas Stue’s appeal. Occupying a graceful, gray-stone 1930s building that once housed the Danish embassy, the hotelfeatures soothing, sophisticated interiors by Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola, who decorated the public areas with animal sculptures—a reference to the neighboring zoo—and colorful, comfortable furnishings. Two original travertine staircases lead up to the 78 rooms and suites, which offer a blend of modern conveniences (rain showers, HD entertainment systems, and iMacs in each room) and considered design touches (black-and-white fashion photographs, hardwood floors, sliding walls, handle-less cupboards), plus views of either the park or the zoo. Guests can enjoy the hotel’s glamorous work and relaxation areas—some with libraries of books on art and design, fashion, and architecture—as well as a spa offering holistic Susanne Kaufmann treatments, and a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool and Finnish sauna. The new staff uniforms come from Viktor & Rolf. Dining options include a chic bar serving light bites (and live music every other Friday); The Casual, offering all-day shareable plates both indoors and out; and the Michelin-starred, Mediterranean-accented Cinco from chef Paco Pérez. A newer wing, designed by Axthelm Architects, features rooms with more direct views of the zoo—which hotel guests can access via the terrace’s exclusive private entrance."
