At a Glance
A slightly more grown-up, businesslike hotel in the heart of Mitte.
Review
With an entrance tucked around the corner from one of the bustling arteries of Mitte, the Amano hotel, which opened in 2009, offers a more traditional hotel option than many of its hip neighbor hotels. The contemporary building features a cool lobby for lounging and a bar known for its excellent DJs, but there is an efficiency to the staff that draws businessmen as well as families who like the apartment-like units with small kitchen areas. The standard rooms are miniscule in size with only showers, so it is important to see photos and layouts of spaces before booking. There is a nice garden area in the back, and the rooftop cocktail lounge and Mani restaurant draw an attractive crowd from the area.
Who Should Stay
Those who want to be in the heart of Mitte at a cheaper price than Soho House rooms and with a more traditional hotel offering than they would find at Lux 11 or Casa Camper. Families can rent apartment-like units with small kitchens.
