Bleibtreu Berlin by Golden Tulip
Bleibtreustr. 31, Berlin, Berlin, 10707, Germany, Berlin, GermanyWhy We Like It
This intimate boutique property is set on a beautiful, quiet side street but is close to bustling Ku’damm and its numerous shopping and dining options. Its warm, welcoming service, pleasant interiors and pretty courtyard are plusses, while the wellness center, replete with herbal steam bath, is ideal after a long day of sightseeing.
Fodor's Expert Review
Opened in 1995, Berlin's first design hotel is relatively unassuming, with simple and serene rooms decorated with untreated oak, polished stone, and neutral shades. The eye candy lies in the terracotta-tiled courtyard, where you can sip drinks and enjoy sushi and Asian fusion cuisine served by the trendy restaurant, Dudu, at a 23-foot-long table, which is covered in shiny blue ceramic shards and rests on a bed of glass pebbles. A tall chestnut tree lends shade. To reinvigorate after shopping at the nearby Ku'damm boutiques, help yourself to the free items in your mini-refrigerator or slip into the herbal steam bath inside the small wellness center.
