Situated on the spectacular Babelplatz, this former bank building (constructed by the master builder of the government in 1889) has been lovingly transformed into one of Berlin’s most luxurious hotels. Original features such as super high ceilings and wood panelling remain, whereas interiors, designed by Olga Polizzi are classical, yet modern. Rooms even have doors reminiscent of bank vaults, whilst the original vault in the basement has been turned into the spectacular marble-bedecked swimming pool (the onsite hotel gym is less spectacular but will do the job). The bar is particularly popular amongst the rich and the beautiful, attracting celebrity clientele and their hanger-ons come Fashion Week or the Berlinale.
What others say

19.5 of 20. Serious though it may be, the Hotel de Rome doesn’t lack for style; magisterial reds and blues liven a palette of stone neutrals, and the pool and spa down in the vault, fittingly, are decked out in green and gold. In-room appointments are first-class, and for this audience nothing less would suffice: flat-panel HDTV televisions, sound systems (even in the vast mosaic marble bathrooms) and wired internet access, this last just the price you pay for those heavy old stone walls.
