EXPLORE 201

Since the fall of the Wall, Berlin quickly emerged as one of

the most cosmopolitan, creative and exciting cities in Europe

for art, museums, architecture, history, and nightlife. From

exhibitions and events, openings, and vernissages to open air

festivals – there is always something happening in this city.

While Berlin has always attracted visitors for its nightlife and

modern art scene, a big movement over the past five years

can be seen in Berlin’s booming food scene, thanks to an

influence of international creative minds moving to the city.

Berlin is the place in Germany, where food trends happen

first. With a countless number of good bars, restaurants

and cafes to choose from, this Berlin Guide will show you a

curated selection of our favorite places to “sleep, eat, drink,

shop and explore”. From cozy cafés and coffee roasters

to restaurants with menus boasting products from local

artisans and growers to Berlin’s most prestigious fashion

shops hidden in a backyard, this guide will lead you away

from the tourist hubs to some of Berlin’s hidden local gems.

HOTEL ZOO BERLINTHE CL A SH OF HIS TORY AND MODERN AGE

If the walls of the Hotel Zoo Berlin could speak, they would

have exciting stories to tell about a splendid boulevard that

has survived many times. It would be stories of large stars,

boom and decadence, destruction and reconstruction. Built

in 1889 as a private residence, the building’s legacy as a

hotel began in 1911. The crème de la crème of intellectuals,

artists, stars and managers reside at this prestigious hotel.

Today, it is still popular during celebrity events, whether it

is Berlinale or Fashion Week. The historical character has

been preserved, with thoughtful attention to detail and

original elements. The modern elements are New Yorker

flair infused with London townhouse elegance. The spacious

rooms and suites are equally eccentric, featuring bespoke

furniture and typical Berliner spirit.

Kurfürstendamm 25, 10719 Berlin
