IntercityHotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof

Set right by Berlin Hauptbahnhof, this hotel gives you a seriously handy launchpad for seeing the capital. The Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate and the River Spree are all within easy reach, so you can go from the train platform to full-on sightseeing mode with very little effort. It’s the kind of location that makes Berlin feel gloriously doable, whether you’re museum-hopping, heading out for dinner or plotting a whirlwind city break with military precision.

This hotel’s modern, polished and refreshingly fuss-free. Free Wi-Fi keeps everything ticking along, and the hotel has a restaurant, bar and bistro-lounge, which means heading back after a day out still comes with options. There’s also an accessible setup, conference space and a central-city feel that suits Berlin down to the ground. The breakfast restaurant serves a generous buffet to get the day going, while the wider dining setup includes international dishes, light bites and drinks in the bar and bistro-lounge. And with Hauptbahnhof next door, plenty more food stops are never far away. All in all, this is a smart shout for a Berlin break with a brilliant postcode and transport links that do a lot of the heavy lifting.
