Expert reviews
“This charismatic refuge in a 1930s Danish diplomatic outpost flaunts understated grandeur and has the Tiergarten park as a front yard. A crocodile sculpture flanked by sweeping staircases fluidly leads the way to a hip bar, a Michelin-starred restaurant and sleekly furnished and spacious rooms.”
“History meets contemporary style in the heart of Berlin, in a building that once housed the Royal Danish Embassy and still retains governmental grandeur now mixed with warming touches like cozy nooks designed by Patricia Uriquola.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Berlin.
“Enter the stately former Danish embassy tucked next to the Berlin Zoo, and the first thing you’ll see is the gaping mouth of a crocodile head in front of a grand, museum-like staircase. It’s that combination of playfulness and elegance that the design hotel Das Stue strives for and totally pulls off.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Berlin.
“Das Stue is discreetly located in a peaceful corner of Berlin’s vast Tiergarten park. Occupying a historical and eye-catching building that once hosted the Danish embassy (das stue means “living room” in Danish), as well as a newer building behind the original, the hotel is next to Zoo Berlin in the city’s diplomatic district.”
“This swish five-star, recently taken over by Sofitel’s hip SO/ brand, mixes a warm and sophisticated interior design with a contemporary hospitality concept. There’s Michelin-starred cuisine, a Susanne Kaufmann spa, and the Berlin Zoo, Tiergarten park and the Landwehr Canal are right on the doorstep.”

Really Fun and Quiet Place to Stay in Berlin
Super fun hotel with lots of character. Our room overlooked the zoo if you looked sideways and we could hear the lions roaring. The hotel has a private entrance to the zoo which is really fun to use after buying your tickets online. The hotel felt like it was in the country (bordering the Tiergarten), but you can walk to Kurfurstendam. And it was a short walk to public transportation. Nice breakfast. Lovely modern room with great bed. Helpful staff. Relaxing pool (could even do short laps). Nice restaurant behind hotel on lake. We loved it!

Beautiful green space to stay
Everything. The hotel is beautiful, from every corner. The landscape is relaxing as its sorrounded by a big green park. Employees were the nicest. Food very tasty. My room was very comfy and cossy.
might be a little far away from the city

The best hotel we stayed at so far.
The stay at SO/Berlin Das Stue was wonderful. The staff behavior was on the highest level you could expect. Especially the porter at the front door was super nice to us and friendly. We were offered to have the car parked right when we arrived which was nice. The attention to detail in this hotel is at the highest level. Our room was good size, very nicely designed and with a large balcony overlooking the city. The pool is beautiful and was almost empty everytime we went there. The sauna is smaller, but beautiful. The breakfast at this hotel is truly amazing and great value if you prepay the breakfast. You can get as many servings as you want. The restaurant during the day or evening is also very good. The gym is smaller, but well equiped with modern machines including Peloton bike. The location is a bit off the busy street, but very calm next to the park. You can get to Ku'damm in about 10 minutes walking, which is nice. Or, the hotel provides bikes you can rent.
If you would be in a rush in the morning, come early to the breakfast. It is not the fastest, because it is not a bufet, so you need to order and wait a bit to have the dishes prepared. But for a holiday it is not a big deal at all! We enjoyed our time having breakfast.

A meticulously designed, comfortable, central Berlin haven with an affable team.
The staff both front and back of house were particularly affable and friendly providing excellently attentive service with a smile with an effort to remember your name! The hotel decor was extremely easy on the eye with great attention to the design detail experience and true comfort. The hotel is located next to the Tiergarten which provided a central yet peaceful break from the usual, hectic character of Berlin, it was in short an oasis, a haven, a sanctuary.

Great stay and atmosphere, lovely and very helpful staff.
The room service were very kind to arrange for us to get dinner shortly after the restaurant was closed. We get nice menu from the BBQ and the food was great. The pool and sauna in the Spa were very cozy and nice.

Nice high end boutique hotel, only lacking some small details to make it feel really luxurious
High end boutique hotel in quiet green street, nice neighbourhood. Nice interior and large, very comfortable rooms. Generous breakfast served by the table by nice staff. Overall good service, nice staff.
Food was only ok, for such a nice hotel it felt a little “cheap” with small details such as that the orange juice was not fresh (ie concentrate) or the “guacamole” was from a tube… The room service menu was also very limited. We had the burger for lunch one day and it was so so. Also a detail but the fact that the shower was “a plastic cubicle” also did not quite feel to standard of the rest of the hotel. No big complaints, but just those small details missing from it feeling as a “real” high end hotel.

Beautiful hotel, good service, better get one of the old rooms
Helpful and friendly staff (in particular for German standards) Beautiful interior design, the entrance is gorgeous Great restaurant Bed was very comfortable Great view over the Berlin Zoo
- Breakfast took extremely long and was just average, the staff looked overwhelmed and undertrained - Room design was modern and sleek but had little to do with the beautiful more classical design of the entrance. The room just felt sterile - The description stated they had electric vehicle charging but it is just a cable extension pulled through a window from an office. They failed to charge our car in more than 3 days.

The way to stay in Berlin.
Well-designed hotel, centrally located, yet surrounded by trees and animals via direct access to the Berlin Zoo and Tiergarten park. Also, really enjoyed the on-site restaurant and bar, a great place for business or friend get togethers alike.
Some guest room features are a bit over designed, hence are not always the most user friendly.

Warm, comfortable and bespoke hotel - wonderful hospitality. Great staff and Great service. 5*****
Great location next to the Zoo, quiet and peaceful yet great West Berlin location - fab for shopping. Overall ambience and style of decor - very comfortable and great bar area. Staff were very attentive. Bedroom was a great size with very high ceilings and electric curtains!
Wasn't clear what part of our breakfast was included in the overall room rate so was a bit hesitant as to what to order.
