Berlin, Germany: Hecker’s Hotel Berlin; hotel review

Grolmanstrasse 35, West Berlin, 030/88900. 4 stars. 69 rooms. Restaurant; bar (roof dining in summer). 140€-280€ ($224-$448) double. Breakfast additional. Parking €12-18.

This small, quiet boutique Hecker’s Hotel Berlin is close to public transportation and easy to get to when traveling by train. A bus stops just across the street for a ride to the airport (E2.3); a taxi to Tegel Airport is about E15, or Scoenfield Airport about E35. Located just off busy Kurfürstendamm, where the big department stores are and where most sightseeing buses stop, it is hotel is in a great area for shopping and dining. and also just a few pleasant blocks away from the charming shops and cafes at Savignyplatz and its S-Bahn station.

The original rooms are smaller than the newer ones, but decor is contemporary and bathrooms up to date throughout. Our stylish, very quiet Bauhaus Suite had two narrow balconies, black-and-white-striped curtains and bedcover, light-wood floors, a walk-in closet with sliding barn-style glass doors, and two TVs—one in the white marble bathroom, complete with a remote to use while relaxing in the long, deep tub. A small but top-notch breakfast buffet is available each morning, but unfortunately it isn't included with all bookings.  However, it is worth having at least one day just for the sprinkling of caviar that sometimes appears on the deviled eggs.  Many inexpensive bakery cafes are nearby

Hecker’s Hotel is a member of Great Hotels of the World Premium Collection. Double rooms start at £116. For more information or to book please call +44 (0) 20 7380 3658.
