This modern corporate hotel won’t win any style awards, but it’s thoughtfully designed, with large, comfortable rooms and everything a business traveler needs, including a business center, fitness room and room service available around the clock. Its proximity to Tiergarten park, the Berlin Zoo and KaDeWe department store are also pluses.
