Scene
Refined decor with unsuspected elements
Far from cookie-cutter, every corner of Das Stue hotel is a visual treat. The exterior, an old villa-style building, gives way to a lobby with stone stairways and a large crocodile head under a posh curtain of lights. The bar has quirky decor including a yellow giraffe made of wire, and mod yellow chairs to match. In the casual restaurant diners are surrounded by gray, blind-like walls letting natural light stream through; plush couches and fabric chairs kick the seating up a notch. In the fine-dining restaurant, a cluster of brass pots hangs from the center of the dining room ceiling, and there’s a cozy library on a landing decorated with rugs, couches, and a spotlight. There’s even a beautiful, outdoor terrace with potted plants, wooden floors, and vibrant, psychedelic-colored chairs. This hotel tends to draw design-savvy travelers who want a luxurious and stylish stay.
Location
Between Tiergarten Park and zoological gardens
The hotel is located between the Tiergarten Park and the zoological gardens in the diplomatic district of Berlin. The hotel isn’t close to most of Berlin’s tourist attractions; it’s a 10-minute drive to Museum Island and a 15-minute drive to the Berlin Wall Memorial. However, the immediate neighborhood offers a cluster of restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries -- including C/O Berlin and the Bauhaus Archive. The hotel is a 15-minute drive to Berlin Tegel Airport or a 30-minute commute via public transportation.
Rooms
Stylish, modern rooms with posh decor
Posh decor, like artistically patterned rugs and chic nightstand lamps, gives rooms a luxurious feel. Expect hardwood floors, plush white bedding with colorful accent pillows, funky mid-century modern chairs, and the occasional quirky accent (like the cockatiel figurines perched in the bathrooms). There’s a variety of rooms styles. Standard rooms have an open concept bathroom with rain showerheads and a modern sink between the shower area and the bed. Some suites have chic terraces with modern daybeds and seating areas, while the Stu Suite has a gorgeous free-standing bathtub wrapped in metal and a free, well-stocked mini-bar. All rooms have HD-Apple entertainment systems, high-tech control panels for lighting and temperature, and and free Wi-Fi.
Features
