These studios offer a clean, serene sanctuary amid the style bars and boutiques of Mitte, Berlin's hippest neighborhood. open-plan lofts come in four sizes, located in either a restored 19th century building or a slick new wing, wrapped in stainless steel, with a glass facade that lets in lots of sunlight. Neutral interiors highlight features like under-floor heating, well-stocked kitchenettes, and power showers. There's no room service, but staff will direct you to the best brunch spots. From $133.
