Waldorf Astoria Berlin

16 Best Hotels in Berlin—Including Artsy Boutiques and Transformed Bathhouses | Condé Nast Traveler

"Fans of the flagship Waldorf Astoria New York will feel right at home in this Berlin outpost, set in an elegant skyscraper in City West and just around the corner from the exclusive shopping boulevard Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm). Rooms are seriously big—starting at 452 square feet—and designed in a contemporary style, with neutral gray velour furnishings, swirl-patterned rugs, and a statement-making gold wall behind the beds. Large marble bathrooms have separate tubs and showers in every category, and the in-mirror televisions and Aesop toiletries add a luxurious touch. Reached by a separate elevator, the Tower Suites (floors 22 to 31) are worth it for the views—of the city, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, or the neighboring Tiergarten park and Berlin Zoo. For a true splurge, the massive 30th-floor Astor Suite (with floor-to-ceiling windows, a balcony, and a separate dining room and kitchen) or the 31st-floor Presidential Suite (complete with a grand piano, open fireplace, and two balconies) boast sweeping city views." - Liz Humphreys, Jennifer Ceaser

Where to Travel in Germany if You Love Architecture - AFAR

"A luxury hotel noted for its distinctive style and convenient location near a major city park, offering high-end accommodations and a premium hospitality experience." - AFAR

"Although it only opened at the beginning of 2013, this 31-floor, limestone-lined skyscraper hotel has already become one of City West’s 5-star hot spots. Rising dramatically above the historic Zoologischer Garten district, it’s a statement in every sense. Designed by German architect Professor Christoph Mäckler, the hotel’s architectural boldness is matched by its art deco interiors: There are chandeliers and barrel-vaulted ceilings in the main entrance (a nod to the New York City Waldorf), and the rooms are clad in warm-hued woods, soft leather, and polished marble. Since each room has at least one glass wall, they all offer exceptional views (except, perhaps, for the few that face the inner courtyard); the higher you go, the better the experience gets. The hotel also benefits from a relaxed seasonal Mediterranean restaurant, a handsome café-bar, and a high-end spa."
