T owering handsomely above Potsdamer Platz, this Berlin outpost of the Ritz-Carlton brand has all the trappings of a classic five-star hotel. Service is highly polished, from the white-gloved doormen to the excellent POTS restaurant, while distinguished bedrooms offer up luxury touches such as goose-feather duvets and an honesty bar. The suave lobby sets the luxurious but comfortable tone with bold, eye-catching sofas, lighting and carpets that offset the rich woods, marble columns and grand central staircase.
The location on one of Berlin’s most famous squares is also a big draw.
