Fodor's Expert Review
The first Berlin outpost of the hip European boutique chain Sir Hotels, Sir Savigny appeals to the creative class with its eclectic, arty interiors and urbane vibe. The 1893 building in Charlottenburg was smartly refurbished in 2016 and features small but beautifully designed rooms, outfitted with rich fabrics, vintage carpets and custom furnishings. A big draw for locals and guests alike is its restaurant, The Butcher, which originated in Amsterdam and serves top-notch burgers and fries.

Room
Ranging from “Petit” to the Sir Suite, the boutique accommodations feature plush velvet furnishings and draperies, signature bedding with 300-count linens, contemporary works by area artists and a well-stocked mini-bar with local specialties. Cheeky touches include a “handwritten” Post-It (“Do You Like Fries With That?”) next to the room service button, which connects you to directly to The Butcher. Nespresso machines, satellite TV, plush robes and free Wi-Fi come standard.
Tip If you want private outdoor space, one of the Sir Suites boasts a spacious terrace overlooking the garden.
Bathroom
Sleek, gray-tiled bathrooms come equipped with powerful rainforest showers, fluffy towels and Dead Clean products; a modern freestanding bathtub graces the Sir Suites.
Lobby
The open-plan lobby resembles a chic living room, with several comfortable lounging nooks, as well as a book-lined center area with a long communal wood table where breakfast is served each morning. The coziest spot is the back room, with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden.
