Art Deco
Situated right in the centre of the upmarket Kurfurstendamm, the Hotel Askanischer Hof is in the heart of Berlin\'s shopping district. The Breitscheidplatz with its Memorial Church and the Wasserklops fountains are close by, along with the Schaubühne Theatre and the famous Kafé Kranzler.
The luxury Hotel Askanischer Hof is for those who are looking for something a little bit different. This exclusive boutique Berlin hotel, housed in a beautiful private mansion built in 1910, has just 16 rooms. Enter the Art Deco lobby and linger awhile before taking the lift to the first floor reception desk. The interior is both flamboyant and opulent with its ornate plaster ceilings, huge candelabra and gorgeous leaded glasswork. No expense was spared when this house was built, with marble walls, ornate sconces and gilt moldings still in evidence. The antique furniture still recalls an era of grandeur, along with the lace curtains and historic prints.
Dedicated to the art of gracious living, the Hotel Askanischer Hof has entertained many rich and famous guests, not least David Bowie back in 1982. The walls are a testament to the many celebrities who left their mark, and their photographs, for all who follow.
The rooms of this boutique hotel are all different shapes and sizes ranging from the thirty-foot long number 15 down to more regular sized rooms. All have plump armchairs, antique furniture, large windows and mod cons including internet connections and cable TV. The luxury bathrooms are bright and spotlessly clean.
Join your fellow guests for breakfast and feast upon German breads, pastries, cheese, cereals and freshly cooked hot dishes. The gilt ceiling, flock wallpaper and very pink tablecloths and fringed lampshades make the room look somewhat overdone, but this is all part of the charm of this unique hotel in Berlin’s historic district.
While lacking a fitness facility and restaurant, this exclusive residence has a homely bar. The competitive room prices of this well located boutique hotel make this one of the best value hotels in Berlin.
