The last time we visited Berlin was during a cruise excursion many years ago.
There was so much to do and see, we were really disappointed we only had one day to explore the city. And I remember being taken in by the unique architecture of Swissotel Berlin and wishing we could have spent the night there.
We’ve stayed at a lot of Swissotel Hotels & Resorts around the world because we know we can count on them to be clean and comfortable, with great service and those little extras that keep you coming back — whether they’re unexpected upgrades or friendly staff who make you feel truly welcome.
I recently read that the Swissotel Berlin has a new lobby design, and that’s enough to make me start thinking about another visit to Berlin.
And so is this photo of the hotel’s dreamy library.
Of course, it’s a long trip to make just for a hotel so, luckily, this one just happens to be in a perfect location in a vibrant city!
Located in the heart of the city, the hotel overlooks the Kurfürstendamm, which is often referred to as the Champs-Élysées of Berlin. This famous boulevard is lined with shops and restaurants, and there’s great shopping at nearby KaDeWe, the largest department store in Continental Europe.
The hotel is so convenient to everything you’ll want to see in Berlin, including the beautiful Tiergarten Park and the sobering Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche anti-war memorial. There is so much history to absorb in Berlin along with modern museums, galleries (the hotel itself is home to an amazing private collection of contemporary German art) and stores.
Some of the highlights of our own trip were seeing what’s left of the Berlin Wall, walking through the Holocaust Memorial and visiting Checkpoint Charlie.
I’m actually visiting Germany again soon — on, sigh, another cruise — and am trying to figure out how to fit in a stay at the Swissotel Berlin.
Meanwhile, I will dream about waking up with this gorgeous view of the vibrant city.
And, until then, I will just say Auf Wiedersehen.
Follow Swissotel on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Hopefully you’ll see pictures of me in that library on one of them soon 🙂
I’ve been to a lot of Germany, just not Berlin. I wouldn’t make a point to go, but it’s on my list if I’m in the area.
When we travel, we stay on military bases, so I doubt I will ever get a chance to stay in a lovely hotel like this 🙂
What a beautiful hotel. The dreamy library is so pretty.
This looks like a great place to stay. Berlin is on my bucket list of places to visit.
Berlin is one of those places I would love to visit – what a fantastic looking hotel. x
That hotel is absolutely gorgeous. If I stayed at a hotel like that, I’d probably never leave. I’d just stay there for the entire trip.
I love European hotels. Looks so luxurious and fun!
It really does look luxurious! I would love it there.
I would love to visit Germany. Out of everywhere, I’d pick Germany. Have fun with your travels.
This sounds like a such a dream. I’d love to stay there and see some of the famous sites in Berlin.
That place looks great! I would love to curl up with a book and just relax
Looks like such a gorgeous hotel. I am pretty sure I would love to visit Berlin (and probably not want to leave!), and this would be a great place to stay.
Me too! I love to visit new places and this one looks fantastic.
Wow – this looks like a really amazing hotel! I’m hoping when the kids get older the hubby and I can travel more and visit places like this!
We stayed in a Swissotel and enjoyed it so much. I felt relaxed and peaceful, and it was really comfortable to stay for a long weekend.
Gorgeous property in a lovely city. Definitely a bucket list item I’ll be adding! Thanks for the great suggestion Lois.

There really is a special decorating vibe over there. I love this! If I’m ever in the neighborhood….

The view is very beautiful and I really like the overall design and color scheme of the hotel room.
I hope to read all about your upcoming cruise to Germany! I’ve never really considered it a country that I’d be that interested in visiting, but you’ve piqued my interest. It obviously is swamped in a rich history and that hotel is gorgeous! lol
I want to visit Berlin. Never been to Europe…I have actually barely been out of the states. This is on my list for sure
Staying at this hotel would really be a dream come true. I really would love to visit Berlin and experience some of its rich history.
This looks like a fabulous place to stay. If I am ever in the area, I will be sure to keep this hotel in mind.
The hotel has a library? Love it! The Swissotel Berlin sounds like an amazing place to stay!
I have never been out of the US but Id love to visit this – the views are stunning
That’s such a beautiful place to stay. Very sleek and modern. It’s always nice to wake up in a gorgeous place.
I love when a hotel is located conveniently .Everything looks great here.
I have not been to Germany but I would LOVE to spend some time in that library too!
What a stunning place to stay! Everything looks so clean and modern!
Germany is one of the favorite places that I would love to visit sometime & that is a wonderful picture of Berlin to start with. The library looks like a dream & it would be a great feeling to spend sometime out there.
What a nice hotel! The room looks so cozy. I wish I could afford a trip to Berlin right now! This will be in my bucket list next year.
What a great place to stay in for a visit! I wish one day I am blessed enough to visit Berlin!
What a beautiful place to visit!
My daughter visited Berlin a couple of years ago and she said it was beautiful.
I would love to go!!
The decor/layout has a modern/industrial feel. I looove how spacious the room is! Thats what you call a luxury hotel
What a gorgeous hotel. I would love to go to Berlin and stay there. I think I would spend a lot of time in the library. What a gorgeous and comfortable place to relax and read some books.
This is such a beautiful hotel. I love the way that everything is decorated and how charming it is.
I have stayed at several Swissotels throughout Europe and have always found them to be clean, spacious and affordable. A good chain to keep in mind when traveling.
I have never been to Berlin, but I’m actually planning to go in the spring! What a great hotel and area to be in! Glad I saw this post, thank you Lois!
