Das Stue

One of the trendiest members of Berlin’s luxury hotel family, Das Stue has restored the 1930s Royal Danish Embassy to its former splendour with the help of Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola. There’s a long list of reasons to stay at this Design Hotel, a pearl-white spa, rooms overlooking the Tiergarten, the original three-storey library and its Michelin-starred cinco concept restaurant, with a menu provided by superstar Catalan chef Paco Pérez. Its central location makes it a short walk to most of Berlin’s major sights as well as having rooms overlooking the Berlin Zoo with binoculars provided for close ups of your beastie neighbours.
