Sleek, spacious rooms in a great location from which to explore the city. The Mandala is a five-star hotel with an ensemble of premier amenities, including a two-Michelin-star restaurant and a spa. Upscale comfort.
What was once the Royal Danish Embassy now stands as an imposing hotel in the diplomatic district of Tiergarten. Enjoy the opulence you'd expect from a luxury hotel (spa, pool, libraries), plus private entrance into the zoo next door.
Perched above the Weinbergsweg close to Rosenthaler Platz, Gorki is an excellent jumping off point to explore the city. Tastefully designed to feel warm and welcoming, there are 30 apartments of differing sizes and styles.
About what you would expect from a Soho House with the added benefit of one of the best views of Berlin from the rooftop pool. Three separate bars, along with Cecconi's downstairs. Nice spa and workout area.

Right in the middle of Kreuzberg, Hotel Orania is universally reviled by locals due to its elitist status, nestled in among a more down-to-earth part of Berlin. It is a nice hotel though with a good restaurant and solid bar.
While it's primarily a hotel, 25Hours is also a hotspot for locals who come for drinks and live music at the rooftop Monkey Bar, or for Moroccan food at Neni. The rooms themselves are bright and have views of either the city or Berlin zoo.
Stylish hostel offering dorms with free Wi-Fi and shared bathrooms with lockers. Also included are a cafe and bar with an industrial design, a lounge with 24-hour access, and laundry facilities. Budget stay but centrally located.
At the top tier of posh regarding Berlin lodging, the Adlon is about as centrally located from a tourist standpoint as you can get. Try and get a room that faces the Brandenburg Gate. Has an amazing breakfast buffet as well.
Bang for your buck doesn't get much better this. Sure, it's a hostel, but the superb service and slick interiors will have you fooled. It's also perfectly situated, surrounded by eateries, bars, cafes, and public transport.
Your classic Ritz-Carlton style property. Close to Potsdamer Platz, the Tiergarten, and other Berlin sightseeing.
Historic 1912 building on Oranienplatz filled with warm wood and live music. The open ground floor pairs jazz concerts on a Steinway grand with a kitchen roasting Peking-style duck.
