revitalisation of Berlin’s City West. Hotel Zoo, once
the pride of Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm is poised for

whimsy is invoked with playful proportions. The
spacious rooms and suites are equally eccentric,
featuring bespoke furnishings and bold Berliner
spirit. With 145 rooms and suites, a rooftop terrace,
a light-flooded Living Room, a winter garden and an
intimate Grace Bar, Hotel Zoo is the fifth member of
Design Hotels in Berlin.
