Best Luxury Hotels in Germany

It boasts some of the coolest cities around, with creative street art, quirky flotation spas, unique brutalist architecture and risque nightlife. But it’s also home to chocolate-box villages, fairytale castles, Hansel and Gretel forests, classy seaside resorts and majestic mountain ranges. Germany’s Christmas markets and Alpine snowscapes make it a go-to winter break. Yet with warm (but not uncomfortably hot) temperatures, abundant alfresco culinary culture, sandy beaches and lake-swimming opportunities, it’s also a superb alternative summer holiday destination for travellers. And with convenient air and rail transport links, making a trip here is stress-free.

Amenities Zoe Bar, a Summer Rooftop Bar with Panoramic City Views
More Located in the Centre of Berlin's Mitte District Near Hackescher Markt & Museum Island, Providing a Stylish & Convenient Base for Exploring the City's Cultural Landmarks.

Design is at the heart of Hotel Zoe. This beautifully formed hotel of 88 rooms is sophisticated, contemporary and a little bit sexy. The décor of the hotel is a signature combination of rich fabrics, dark and light contrasts, earthy tones, interspersed with luxe touches of gold, marble and velvet. Lighting throughout the hotel is purposefully subdued to create an intimate, tranquil vibe and almost all the furnishings in the public areas are seductively dark in colour. Whilst the smaller rooms are definitely on the smaller side of things (with not much more room than for a bed and a small desk), they are still elegantly furnished with leather headboards and high quality furniture.  Whilst the hotel doesn’t boast its own restaurant, it does feature a sleek street-facing Gin & Tonic bar which looks classy enough for Gatsby himself.
