Hackescher Markt
One of Berlin's best hotels,
the charming Hackescher Markt,
is situated right in the popular
Mitte district. Service and fur-
nishings are of a four-star stan-
dard, yet the prices are moder-
ate. Best of all is the hotel's cen-
tral location in one of Berlin's
liveliest areas: it is only a few
steps away from the Hackesche
Höfe and the Scheunenviertel.

Ritz-Carlton Berlin
The new Ritz-Carlton Berlin
near Potsdamer Platz is an ultra-
luxurious gem hidden behind a
modern façade reminiscent
of New York's Rockefeller
Center. The lobby with its
marble columns and tons
of gold leaf is a stunning
setting for the Curtain Club
and the Desbrosses
brasserie. Its rooms are
sumptuously decorated, all
decorated to Prussian Neo-
Classical designs - there are
even telescopes to enjoy
the cityscape.
