Hotel Art Nouveau

Simple but near-elegant decor and furnishings characterise this 22-room Charlottenburg converted townhouse whose showpiece remnant of its art nouveau roots is the period elevator/lift which takes you to the second and fourth floors (with reception on the fourth). It's located just a smidgen north of the major shopping street Kurfürstendamm and the walk to gay-gay-gay Schöneberg will take about 15 minutes. Charm and flair are not absent here. U-Bahns: Adenauerplatz and Wilmersdorferstraße.
