A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Nestled at the vibrant heart of Berlin’s legendary Kurfürstendamm, Hotel Zoo Berlin stands as a beacon of luxury hospitality, seamlessly weaving its storied past with modern opulence. Originally established in 1911, the hotel quickly became a favorite haunt for luminaries and served as the official VIP residence for the Berlin International Film Festival. Today, following an extensive transformation led by acclaimed Hollywood designers Dayna Lee and Ted Berner, the property radiates a bold aesthetic—think rich jewel tones, dramatic Weimar-era flourishes, and a captivating sense of spectacle. Guests are welcomed by a signature jade-green carpet designed by Diane von Fürstenberg, leading to a show-stopping reception, while the expansive Living Room features grand double doors, a roaring fireplace, and iconic Tom Dixon wingback chairs.
Channelling the extravagance of 1920s Berlin, each of the 127 guestrooms and 14 suites is adorned with avant-garde fashion photography by Andreas Kock, plush platform beds, and bespoke walnut furnishings set atop gleaming hardwood floors. Expect thoughtful amenities such as Nespresso machines, oversized smart TVs, glass-enclosed rain showers, and exclusive robes and linens crafted by Maison Margiela. The two Penthouse Suites, perched on the sixth floor, epitomize indulgence with sweeping living spaces, dual-sided fireplaces, and panoramic city views—complemented by luxury in-room beauty essentials.
As dusk falls, the sultry Grace Bar comes alive with inventive cocktails and nightly DJ sets from 10pm, drawing Berlin’s stylish crowd. For culinary excellence, Grace Restaurant impresses with a contemporary European menu, while the Grace Rooftop offers a chic lounge and bar with floor-to-ceiling glass and sweeping 270-degree vistas—an unrivaled setting for summer evenings. The hotel’s spa has recently introduced advanced facial therapies, bespoke massages, and the latest in manicure and pedicure treatments. Fitness-minded guests enjoy access to a digital wellness coach and an interactive Vaha mirror, ensuring a holistic and personalized stay in the heart of Berlin.
