Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Telegraphenamt Berlin

This immense neo-baroque building was once home to Berlin’s telegraph office and now houses an airy, industrial-looking hotel with an inviting open-plan lobby, comfortable rooms, and an enormous gym, complete with saunas. Guest rooms, with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls, range in size from cozy to roomy to a two-level maisonette; two even larger rooms, Mabel’s Place and Grant’s Residence, sleep six and eight people, respectively. The stylish ROOT Bar serves up tasty cocktails and features a regular DJ. The nearly 13,000-square-foot gym, part of the hotel’s member’s club, is also open to hotel guests.
