Dynamic and fizzing with the energy of a reborn city, Berlin is a European capital like no other. Its eclectic nature is reflected in the design of the Hotel de Rome, built into the shell of a 19th century bank and unlike any other property in the German capital.
Downtown Berlin is a parade of the national icons, form the pomp of the Brandenburg Gate to the cutting edge design of the Reichstag parliament building. The remains of recent history can still be seen, from remnants of the fallen wall to Checkpoint Charlie to the Jewish Museum.
The rejuvenated city is best viewed through the eyes of up and coming neighbourhoods such as Mitte and Friedrichshain, where the shops and cafes reflect a newfound quirkiness and innovation. The same could be said of the Hotel de Rome – how many hotel spas are situated inside the former jewellery vault of a bank, for instance?
