hotel &#8211; housed in a neoclassical 1930s building, I really admired how this sophisticated 5-star hotel beautifully combined historic architecture with chic, contemporary design. Original parquet floors, elegant French doors, restored wooden inlays, and modern furniture created a romantic, timeless retreat in the leafy and peaceful Tiergarten district.<\/p>\n<p>My upscale guest room, a SO Stue Room with a King Bed, featured an extra-large designer bed, a coffee machine, dark hardwood floors, and large windows overlooking the leafy Tiergarten Park. The superb boutique design, complete with a rain shower, added to the luxurious feel.<\/p>\n<p>I also really enjoyed making use out of the hotel\u2019s spacious modern spa, indoor swimming pool, sauna, and fitness centre (which also offered personal training sessions!), as well as the trendy on-site restaurant and bar and the pet-friendly policies (with my dog Rosa)!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>To book, check prices or availability for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/de\/das-stue.en.html?aid=1502926&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SO Das Stue<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>My personal highlights&#8230;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Indulging in a personalised massage at chic onsite spa was a real treat &#8211; they used products from the holistic, plant-based brand Susanne Kaufmann (which is known for its high-quality naturally active ingredients) which left my skin feeling completely rejuvenated!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edgy, creative, and hedonistic, Berlin\u2019s hotels reflect its hip vibe &#8211; from intimate boutiques to modern design hotels, it\u2019s home to some of the world\u2019s most unique stays.
