Color-filled and hung with images of fashion icons, each floor dedicated to the style of a decade past, Hotel Indigo is a chain hotel with a one-of-a-kind look. The vibe is vibrant and trendy, cheap though it doesn’t look it. It’s in a young, happening neighborhood with bars and pubs around the corner so you’ll get good use out of the 24-hour gym on-site, replete with sauna.
Neighborhood: Victoriaplatz is in the most fashionable neighborhood in Germany’s most fashionable city. Though just a five-minute subway ride to hit the shops at Königsallee, Pemplefort has so many charming pre-war buildings filled with kitschy boutiques and brunch cafes, you may not want to leave. It’s where all the students from the Art Academy and Fashion Institute go when they grow up.
Nearby:
Beuys Bar: For art-inspired cocktails.
Hofgarten: For a breath of fresh air, head to the city’s green lungs.
Tonhalle: For a classical musical interlude.
Time Out tip: Ask for a top-floor room with a balcony to the garden and catch some rays on sunny days.
