Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
Berlin, Germany
8Telegraph expert rating
This 1,012-room hotel is a city landmark in itself, looming over Alexanderplatz, its 125m-high top-floor popular with cable-winch free-fallers. It also has a terrace for drinks and views.

Soho House Berlin
Berlin, Germany
8Telegraph expert rating
Soho House occupies eight floors of a late Bauhaus building in Mitte, 12 minutes’ walk from Alexanderplatz. The building is of special historical interest even by Berlin standards, since it was previously used as a centre for Hitler’s Brownshirts and later as an archival depot for the Communist Party. Concrete walls have been left unfinished, but they are interleaved with expensive original artworks and modernist sculptures. Idiosyncratic rooms come in various sizes from very 'itsy' to 'XL'; they have free-standing bathtubs, rain showers, and televisions. There’s a rooftop bar with a heated pool, and restaurant serving international food. Read expert review From £100per night

Motel One Berlin-Hackescher Markt
Berlin, Germany
8Telegraph expert rating
A decent choice for those seeking inexpensive accommodation that’s surprisingly stylish, comfortable and five minutes’ walk from Alexanderplatz. The One Lounge is dotted with bold designer chairs and shiny silver lamps, and backed by a well-stocked bar. The rooms are on the compact side — the smallest ones really don’t offer much space beyond the double bed — but they’re comfortable and colourful. The breakfast menu isn’t as broad as it could be, but it does have fair-trade coffee from Darboven, and the usual eggs, cold cuts and pastries.

The Weinmeister
Berlin, Germany
