Hotel Art Nouveau

Leibnizstr. 59, Berlin, Berlin, 10629, Germany, Berlin, Germany

Why We Like It

The hotel’s setting, inside a historic art nouveau building, its stylish, individually designed rooms plus the friendly, personal service gives it a home-away-from-home feel. And its central location, near Kurfürstendamm’s shopping and the C/O Berlin photo gallery, is ideal.

Fodor's Expert Review

This boutique Charlottenburg hotel was recently revamped and the individually decorated rooms have a fresh look, with classic Farrow & Ball colors and a mix of modern and vintage furnishings. The building shows its age only in the antique wood elevator and an occasionally creaky floor. You can serve yourself tea or coffee in the breakfast room throughout the day and mix your own drinks at the honor bar.
