One of Berlin’s most exciting hotels is fittingly situated right between the city’s historic shopping lane—Friedrichstraße—and one of its most notable landmarks—the Brandenburg Gate.

Housed in a neo-classical 19th century palais, and featuring a modern addition which was completed in 2003, Arte Luise Kunsthotel offers a uniquely Berlin experience, blending tradition with contemporary flair. Each room has been decorated by a different renowned artist—the rooms rendered by Stefan Bree, Kehl and Nora Stalzer are of particular notoriety.

The rates are rather fair. This is simply one of the best places to spend a night shrouded in the majesty of art and the aura of location, location, location.
