Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Berlin

Budapester Str. 2, Berlin, Berlin, 10787, Germany

From the heavily trafficked street, the huge "InterConti," the epitome of old West Berlin, evokes the Louvre with its glass pyramid entrance. In the rooms, modern gray, black, and beige furnishings are offset by pops of color and a rotating wall unit that allows you to watch TV while soaking in a tub. The Club rooms on the seventh and eighth floors have a private check-in area, and come with their own lounge, meeting rooms, and other extras. The spa's saunas and the 14th-floor restaurant, Hugo's, are incentives to stick around the hotel.

PROS

  • large rooms with great views
  • friendly and impeccable service
  • great Michelin-starred restaurant Hugo's and bar Marlene on-site

CONS

  • street is not inviting
