Relative newcomer Hotel de Rome undeniably raised the luxury bar in Berlin by accentuating its historic address and imposing architecture with contemporary glamour. Once the headquarters of Dresdner Bank and a miraculous wartime survivor, the building's impressive interiors (and clientele) still radiate money and power, especially the former vault, now a stylish, gold-mosaic tiled pool. Rooms range from the understated "classic" to the historic, with original 19th century wood paneling and traces of WWII shrapnel. Local and international aristocrats frequent the art-nouveau-inspired bar and vast roof terrace with spectacular views of neighboring monuments.
