It's name refers to the street it's located, in the center of Berlin's ever-hip Mitte neighborhood walking distance to Hackescher Markt as well as the owner's other hotel property. From the men responsible for Lux 11, a mostly all-white apartment-style boutique hotel that bet on Berlin's then edgy Mitte neighborhood long before it was really cool, comes a hotel built from the ground up that stands out amongst a hotel landscape that includes neighboring Hotel Casa Camper.<br />&nbsp;<br />A lobby alit in Berlin's summer light is a cool sanctuary from the city's notorious August humidity especially since it's one of the only hotel's in the area that's air conditioned from top to bottom. A lobby of warm mosaic wall patterns and wide-plank oak floors with a fashionably worn finish flow from sparse reception to small lounge with high-back club chairs in solid, earthy fabrics with floor-to-ceiling windows framed in drapery panels.<br />&nbsp;<br />A Mecca for the pretty and hip, the hotel is home to an in-house lounge-style eatery that mixes cocktail culture with first-rate hotel cuisine. But the real action is found in the new Schwartz Bar named after its creator German actress Jessica Schwartz, who's Deutschland's version of Scarlett Johansson. <br />

The Room

“The Golden Cage,” as locals are naming it due to the shimmering gold-building materials that make it a visual landmark of the neighborhood, Weinmeister also stands-out in its attempt to but a plush pillow under the head of the neighborhood’s rebellious punk artist scene. At the heart of Weinmeister is a private room experience that centers on a specially made bed mounted into a chic high-back headboard positioned at the center of the room with uber-King size mattress that create a “room within a room” experience from bed. In lieu of TVs, each room has its own Apple I-mac that is instantly synced with Iphones. Open style bathrooms with cantilevered basin sink focus on large, oversize soaking subs with white porcelain inlay but with lackluster large square tiles that lack pizzazz.
