SO/ Berlin Das Stue

History meets contemporary style in the heart of Berlin, in a building that once housed the Royal Danish Embassy and still retains governmental grandeur - from the classical facade to the dramatic entry staircase - now mixed with warming touches like cozy nooks designed by Patricia Uriquola.

We loved the hotel's cozy bar with its friendly and hardworking bartender, and enjoyed a superb meal of tuna escabeche and morel mushroom rice with pork ribs and shrimp at Cinco.
