Patrick Hellmann Schlosshotel
Why it made the list
Built more than a century ago, this Italian Renaissance-style manse, with a huge park-like garden, has hosted the likes of Josephine Baker and German singer Hildegard Knef; actress Romy Schneider was married here. Today it's one of the city’s finest luxury hotels, with opulent interiors designed by Karl Lagerfeld.
Hotel Oderberger
Why it made the list
A public bathhouse dating from 1898, the building was converted into a hotel in 2016; its palatial stone façade and the original pool—featuring a stunning vaulted ceiling—have been beautifully restored.
Hotel Zoo Berlin
Why it made the list
From the 1950s to the ‘70s, this glamorous hotel, dating from the 19th century, hosted all the top celebs attending the Berlin International Film Festival—Romy Schneider, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, to name a few.
Soho House Berlin
Why it made the list
Set in a late Bauhaus building on a busy corner in trendy Mitte, this outpost of Soho House has a checkered history: It was first a department store, later the headquarters of the Reich Youth Leadership and after WWII, the home of the Communist Party’s Central Committee. It was restored and opened as the Soho House Berlin in 2010.
