Today: Top 10 best luxury hotels in Berlin
With its almost 4 million inhabitants, Berlin is the political center of Germany and home to many of the country's most famous sites & monuments. With its many theaters, three opera houses, the Philharmonie and its diverse museum landscape, Berlin is also considered a cultural metropolis worldwide. It is also one of the most creative cities in Germany, with numerous art galleries and a lively street art scene contributing to this image just as much as the start-up culture. In addition, there is a colourful and wild party scene with legendary clubs, such as the internationally famous and infamous Berghain. At the same time, those who want to relax from the big-city hustle and bustle can do so at one of the approximately 3,000 lakes or in the 2,500 parks and recreational areas in and around Berlin (which makes Berlin the greenest capital city in Europe). To help you plan your next trip to Berlin, I have compiled a top 10 list with the best luxury hotels in the city.

Opened in 2010, the 40 room Soho House Berlin is hosted in the historic 1928' building in Torstrasse. The late Bauhaus structure - located in the heart of the Mitte district - had a turbulent history: it initially housed a Jewish-owned department store before it was taken over first by the Nazis, then by the communist regime. The interior design of the building is a collaboration between Soho House's in-house designer, Susie Atkinson and Michaelis Boyd Associates (Tim Boyd and Alex Michaelis). Old Berlin lifestyle is brought into a new light, where exposed concrete beams are combined with traditional panelling. A 30-seat screening room, library and the Red Room - a boutique space with a bar - are reminiscent of bygone eras, as are the bedroom spaces, with Art Deco-inspired lighting, statement furniture and rich fabrics. Outside, the modernist lines of the rooftop pool chime with the city's aesthetic.
