Best Luxury Hotels in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf

Few hotel brands have shaped luxury hospitality quite like Waldorf Astoria, a name synonymous with luxury for over a century, and one so pioneering in its approach that the original Waldorf Astoria in New York developed many guest experiences that in today’s world are now taken as standard. Its Berlin outpost towers above West Berlin, a building of stacked construction, almost Tetris-like in its formation, while inside, contemporary interiors draw on the brand’s Art Deco heritage. With 232 guest rooms and suites, Italian-New York inspired restaurant ROCA, an award-winning spa and Afternoon Tea library, this has to be the capital’s most compelling address for the discerning traveller.

25hours Berlin is an ultramodern millennial paradise right in the heart of the Berlin Zoo district in the Bikini Berlin which was a former 1590’s high rise, that has been completely reimagined as a culture and art quarter.

On the 10th floor, guests can enjoy NENI Berlin restaurant and the Monkey Bar with stunning views of the Tiergarten.

This is a seriously cool hotel, open for mokey business and we just love it!

In the heart of the former West Berlin on Meinekestraße is the compact Henri Hotel. The area is quite upmarket bohemian and the characteristic quirkiness of Henri Hotels works perfectly here. Interior designed Marc Ludolf von Schmarsow has transformed the 19th century building into a collage of Art Nouveau meets contemporary elegance meets Wes Anderson. The charming hotel has been allowed to retain many of the building’s original quirks and details, like the parquet floors, which gives it an almost old-school atmosphere. The rooms are a lesson in sophisticated retro featuring antique furnishings alongside modern bed frames and vibrant walls. The breakfast offering at Henri Hotel Berlin is adorable – a lovely spread of breads, jams, cheeses, cold meats, plus bacon and eggs. Whilst the hotel doesn’t offer lunch or dinner, the surrounding area is full of great restaurants bars jostling for attention so this doesn’t really matter.
