Prussian palace meets Berlin city chic at Hotel Brandenburger Hof, with an imaginative mix of impressive palatial rooms and snappy modern design. In a prime position, just steps from Kurfürstendamm, the impressive villa-like façade conceals a fantastic Michelin-starred restaurant, a funky lounge-bar with a summer courtyard and a beauty and massage suite.

Enter the grand doorway into light, spacious interiors and an explosion of styles; period furniture, decorative ceilings, chandeliers, designer-lighting, sage-green upholstery on quirky chairs, curved sofas, splashes of vibrant color and fresh flowers.

Relax with a glass of classic Riesling in the piano bar before dining at Die Quadriga, one of Berlin’s best restaurants. Then, head for nearby Schloss Charlottenburg with its galleries and gardens. Return for a soothing massage or beauty treatment in the private Thaleia Suite.
