Although it opened in the 80's, the Steigenberger Hotel is so modern and trendy that it looks as though it was built yesterday... However, it should be mentioned that renovations are routinely carried out in this establishment. In addition, the hotel has modern amenities, relaxation facilities, and a large business centre... The Steigenberger is therefore suited to any type of stay and clientele. However, there is a slight drawback: the comings and goings in the lobby when big conferences are held. The general bustle on these occasions is exhausting.

The Berlin Kudamm opened in 1989, the same year as the fall of the wall, and was enlarged in 1996. This is the oldest of the three art'otel establishments to have opened in the German capital. Here guests can discover the strange universe of the artist Wolf Vostell, one of the creators of the happening movement or environmental art. However, the "hotel version" is toned down and politically correct! This urban hotel is recommended to art lovers or those simply looking for a bit of colour during their stay in Berlin.

The quotation above the entrance to the Concorde immediately sets the tone for the rest of the establishment: 'At first, I didn't feel like I was in Berlin - everything reminded me of France'. Indeed, the hotel might be located at the very heart of the German capital, but you wouldn't necessarily know it until you look out the window. The very French ambience will undoubtedly be a hit with foreigners, as well the comfort and stylish decor, but if you have a thing against chain hotels, you'd best look elsewhere!

The Berlin City Center opened in 2002 and is the newest of Berlin's art'otel establishments. Art by the world famous Andy Warhol was chosen to decorate the walls of this decidedly pop-art space, which is easily recognizable from the outside thanks to the giant stickers and posters on the facade. Although there are no sporting facilities and there is no spa centre or gastronomic restaurant, this enables you to better appreciate the establishment's two main assets: its location and its decor. This urban hotel is an establishment recommended for art lovers, or for those who simply want a bit of colour during their stay in Berlin.

Its name may be sunny but the California Hotel does little to light up Kurfürstendamm avenue, where it has been residing for 25 years. Even its 4 star status is deceiving in a city where hotels are continuously outdoing each other in terms of their imaginative interior decoration. Despite the opening of a brand new section and a few originally themed suites, the California is far below the general standard of its competitors. Although the interior decoration is not very original, the hotel does offer quality services.

This unpretentious member of the German Grand City chain benefits from a highly practical location if you are looking to discover the famous Kurfürstendamm avenue and the stylish areas of former West Berlin. Having said that, don't expect to find a luxury establishment. The 3 star Grand City Berlin Ku'damm offers few facilities and its 81 guest rooms are small and rather basic, providing no more than the strict minimum. Internet access is charged.

The original facade of this establishment, one of the German capital's finest, says a great deal about its illustrious past, and the Hôtel de Rome is in fact one of the few luxury hotels to have taken up residence in a period establishment. Having said that, it's still hard to imagine the wonders concealed behind its walls, a tasteful combination of old and contemporary, from the superb entrance hall to the wonderful spa housed in the building's former vault. This hotel comes highly recommended to all those who have the means to stay there, and if you haven't, at least try the restaurant!

Most of the guests staying at this elegant hotel, which stands between the avenues of 'Unter den Linden' and 'Friedrichstraße', do not know about its history. The chunk of wall displayed near the front door is the first clue. Built in 1987, the Westin Grand Hotel replaced a shopping centre destroyed during the Great War. This establishment inherited its predecessor's refinement, as well as a few almost identically reconstructed former characteristics. The rest of the hotel teeters between a classical and a contemporary style. Everyone should be able to find what they are looking for here... as long as they can afford it of course!

You might be wondering how the Lux 11, which opened in 2005, got its name.

This once sad little corner of former East Germany has since been taken over by a large number of art galleries, boutiques, lively bars, and even celebrities. With its minimalist white and fuchsia pink geometric decor, the hotel will undoubtedly appeal to a young and trendy clientele.

The Berlin Movenpick hotel is much like its home town. It's a surprisingly trendy establishment. It was built in 1914 by Herr Siemens, opposite his first factory, and still shows many industrial architectural elements of that era, associated with a modern interior and noble materials such as European wallnut wood. With items taken from the ancient next-door railway station decorating each floor, the industrial interior is complete. The establishment includes 243 fully-equipped rooms (the standard ones feature a bathtub designed by Philippe Starck), a business centre with two computers connected to the Internet, a gym and a sauna. The restaurant and its large bay window which opens up in the summer are worthy of mention.
