As I’ve lived in Berlin for about ten years now, I don’t really think about where people should stay when they’re visiting Berlin, be it a hotel or an Airbnb. I think more about which visa to get, how to find a flat, and where to learn German — all of which is outlined in my detailed moving to Berlin guide.

Yet as many of my readers are coming to Berlin on vacation, they frequently ask for guidance about the best places to stay in Berlin. While Berlin is comprised of many different areas, Mitte is a district in the heart of the city perfectly suited to tourists wanting to see the city’s main sites like Brandenburger Tor, the Berliner Dom, Checkpoint Charlie, and more.

To that end, I’ve put together this comprehensive list of hotels in Berlin Mitte.

Best Hotels In Berlin Mitte (Personal Picks From A Local)

All hotels on this list were personally and carefully selected by me and feature 15 fabulous places ranging from opulent five-star hotels for high-end travelers, to four-star boutique properties, and more budget-friendly three-star accommodations that provide a level of affordable luxury.

Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin, located at Pariser Platz overlooking Brandenburger Tor, is the ultimate Old World-styled hotel in Berlin. Opened in 1907, it was burnt down when invading Russians tried to loot the wine cellar and accidentally set the hotel on fire. Finally, it was rebuilt in 1997 and in 2002, was made a tad infamous when Michael Jackson dangled his nine-month-old son from a sixth-story balcony. Many other notable people have stayed there including, the last Tzar of Russia, Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth II, President Barack Obama, and (unfortunately) Ivanka Trump. The entire building is decked out with extravagant touches like a Murano chandelier fixture in the lobby, as well as an elephant fountain, a smoker’s lounge, and even marble bathrooms in the rooms. One of the hotel’s highlights is its two-floor spa with a Roman-inspired heated pool, whirlpool, hair salon, and their varying treatments like massages and facials (for even more spa goodness – consider Berlin’s Vabali Spa). There’s a shopping arcade with several high-end boutiques, as well as three restaurants – the Sra Bua headed by legendary local Tim Raue, the Michelin-starred Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer, and Restaurant Quarré. This is also afternoon tea for those looking to experience the high-end English tradition.
