The Art’otel, with its red, green, blue and aubergine guest rooms, occupies the historic Ermelerhaus, enviably sited on the banks of the Spree river. The painter G Baselitz’s works are sprinkled throughout the six floors of the hotel and Johanne Nalbach’s architecture and interior design give it a sleek and contemporary look. Historic, modern, comfortable and within walking distance of Gendarmenmarkt, Potzdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, the Art’otel is a gem.

Long before Berlin became a major travel destination, this was a modest family-run hotel. Lately the neighbourhood has become a hot tourist draw, making this hotel a good deal. The apartments are ideal for those looking for extended stays. Services include same-day laundry and shoe-cleaning, room service, a 24-hour concierge and daily newspapers. Breakfast is served in the hotel lobby, where coffee and tea are available around the clock. The restaurant Cassambalis, open for lunch and dinner, serves contemporary Mediterranean cuisine.

Although its rooms are typical of midrange chains, this property offers a great location-to-price ratio in the new diplomatic and commercial district of Berlin Mitte. Many of Berlin’s most popular attractions are within easy walking distance of the hotel. There isn’t much to satisfy the business traveller, but if you simply want to relax, head for the gym, sauna or steam bath. A gourmet restaurant offers original Italian cuisine, while a wine bar serves up casual lunches.
