SANA Berlin Hotel

Coolly and pleasingly sleek and relatively inexpensive 208-room corner hotel — 166 rooms and suites and 42 one- and two-bedroom residences — located equidistant from shopping mecca KaDeWe and all things gay in Schöneberg. Double rooms can dip below €120 in the right circumstances. There's a pool, a spa and a gym, and the walk to the Fuggerstraße and the Motzstraße beyond requires minimal effort and time. U-Bahn: Augsburger Straße, which is a mere two stops from Nollendorfplatz if you don't have time for the 15-minute cruisy walk to get there. Opened in 2010 – the first German outlet for 21st-century Portuguese SANA group of hotels.
