The 4 most unusual places to sleep in Berlin

This huge hotel was built near the Universal building on the so-called Media Spree – on this bank of the Spree river several media-players, like MTV, have their offices. Nhow attracts a lot of musicians, not only because of the radical design of the hotel by architect Karim Rashid but also because of the in-house concerts and fashion shows. All 304 rooms have stunning views.

This private (boat) house lies in a little working harbour on the river Spree, namely in Rummelsburg, and offers a truly wonderful view on the water. It’s only 10 minutes by car or tram to the funky district of Friedrichshain. The building features modern design, large windows and a fireplace.

Built in 1895, this house reached fame through its prominent inhabitant, the world famous actress of silent movies Asta Nielsen. The hotel is pretty authentic and the detailed Art Nouveau windows and beautiful ceilings are well preserved. Ideal if you like small, well priced hotels with a lot of character.

Hotel Provocateur is a design hotel near the Schaubühne (HS 387) in West-Berlin. If you love great design and luxury and don’t mind a bit of provocation here and there, then this is the place to be. Managers and concept designers Alex Urseanu and Micky Rosen were elected Hoteliers of the Year 2018.
