3 Best Hotels in Charlottenburg, Berlin

Germany’s first Hoxton hotel brings a fun, playful vibe inspired by 1920s Art Nouveau style to West Berlin, with a mix of custom-made and vintage furnishings, a sceney lobby perfect for co-working, and an Indian restaurant and teahouse. Guest rooms, which range from Shoebox to Biggy Up, all include small desks or tables and mini-fridges. The House of Tandoor makes a fine stop for lunch and dinner, while the Teahouse offers snacks and drinks all day long; there’s also a bar featuring signature cocktails. Regular events such as art openings and wine tastings are open to all hotel guests.

This former women’s prison has been completely transformed into a minimalist boutique hotel surrounded by gorgeous wild gardens, with many guest rooms created from prison cells, a wonderful modern German restaurant and bar, and a rooftop pool and sauna. The hotel buildings, which date from 1896, housed prisoners until 1985; the structure stayed shuttered until the hotel opened in 2022. Guest rooms, with white walls and wood furnishings, range from cozy to classic to penthouse suites, some created by combining old prison cells and some newly built; all feature super-comfy COCO-MAT beds. Lovis Restaurant offers creative vegetarian-forward cuisine, and Lovis Bar creates interesting cocktails with a savory twist. Go for a dip year-round in the rooftop pool before warming up in the sauna (by reservation only); there’s also a small gym open 24 hours.
