Review
Well priced but with without skimping on service, this hotel has 166 suites with Asian-influenced décor, including Chinese antiques, raw-silk curtains and cherry-wood floors. Join chic locals at the Qiu lounge, where you can sip cocktails while seated on mohair couches next to a wall of Bisazza mosaics. Reserve a table at the hotel’s all-glass Facil restaurant, one of the city’s best. Note: The Potsdamer Platz location is very central, at one of the spots where the former East meets the former West Berlin, but know that you won’t be doing a lot of walking in this busy area. There are some museums nearby, but to reach most of the sights and recommended restaurants, you will need to be taking taxis.
