Cheap is relative, but five-star luxury at an affordable price is the traveler’s albino rhino. With Queen Anne chairs and wicker headboards, the rooms appear stuffy but the superior staff is ready to accommodate every whim. A Finnish sauna, fitness area and fine dining on site make this one hotel you won’t want to leave—except to visit the luxury boutiques just a few steps away.
Neighborhood: Across from the lush Hofgarten, at the end of the Königsallee, next door to the Oper Am Rhein opera house—the neighborhood doesn’t get any more decadent or walkable than this.
Nearby:
Königsallee: For high-end boutique shopping.
Nagaya: For the best Japanese food in Europe.
Elephant Bar: For hand-crafted gin cocktails.
Time Out tip: Opt for a cold night in and warm up with a Manhattan beside the fireplace.
