SO/ Berlin Das Stue

Tucked at the edge of the leafy Tiergarten and close to all the hot spots, Das Stue creates a boutique ambience in its 78 rooms and suites, which are among the city’s largest. Inside, animal motifs are a tip of the hat to the Berlin Zoo next door. Susanne Kaufmann’s eponymous spa is an organic oasis. Catalan chef Paco Pérez garnered his fifth Michelin star for the Mediterranean gastronomy at Cinco, the signature restaurant in Das Stue. His avant-garde tasting menus with up to nine courses are reason enough to stay at Berlin's first luxury boutique hotel, located in the former Danish Embassy building.
