This sleek, modern block conceals a hotel which is unobtrusive in the best way. English-speaking staff are seamlessly helpful, and the aqueous green glass doors open into a shining lobby featuring computer terminals, a bar and seating where locals take meetings and guests tap at laptops. The ground-floor restaurant is stylish and rooms are soothingly decorated in taupe and white. On the top floor, the small but attractive pool and sauna overlooks the glittering high-rises and gothic steeples of Berlin. The place is as chic and European as a white Mercedes in sixth gear.
