More photosIn West Berlin’s artsy Charlottenburg neighborhood, Roomers Berlin Steinplatz (traditionally Hotel am Steinplatz) is a luxury boutique hotel dripping with history. Originally constructed in 1907 as a grand residential building, it was designed by August Endell—the famous Art Nouveau architect behind Berlin’s iconic Hackesche Höfe courtyards.
By 1913, the structure transitioned into a luxury hotel that quickly became a magnet for cultural elite, welcoming Russian aristocrats and literary giants like Vladimir Nabokov. During the strict curfews of the late 1940s, the hotel’s owner famously convinced authorities to abolish serving hour limits, effectively kicking off Berlin’s legendary, nonstop nightlife culture.
The hotel later cemented its bohemian reputation in the 1950s, hosting silver-screen icons like Brigitte Bardot and Romy Schneider in its voguish basement bar. Designers Claudia Dressler and Tassilo Bost eventually led a meticulous renovation to restore its 1920s glamour, preserving original stucco work alongside organic motifs like carved shells and ferns.
Today, this 84-room hotel treats incoming guests to a quirky, historic nod: a goat’s cheese praline on arrival. This unique touch pays homage to “Beate,” a real goat kept in the inner courtyard during WWII to keep supplies flowing.
Expert reviews
“The Hotel am Steinplatz in Berlin opened as a luxury hotel in 1913, in an elegant building designed by the German Art Nouveau-inspired architect August Endell. A super luxurious and comfortable experience that has both Old World aristocratic touches as well as a stylish modern feel.”
“Rooms in this elegant art-deco jewel reinterpret the 1920s in contemporary style with fantastic lamps, smartphone docks and black-and-white bathrooms.”
“This historic hotel, once the haunt of celebrities such as Vladimir Nabokov and Brigitte Bardot, combines a splendorous Art Nouveau structure with intimate, high-end service. The hotel offers a discreet but central location with an excellent restaurant and bar, and lovely rooftop spa.”

Won’t recommend. Attitude was off. There are lovelier hotels of the same caliber in Berlin
Location. Breakfast.
Room was rather small. Staff members indifferent and unprofessional. Seemed like Reception didn’t understand a word we tried to communicate, rude. Room service send us wrong dish, forget cutlery. Not what you expect from a Marriott hotel. Check out process was a mess.

The localization is perfect, very friendly staff. Little disappointing this what I mentioned above.
The breakfast was very good.
We were there during the renovation, no one told me about impossibility of parking and restaurant, during reservation. I paid regular price for the hotel without parking and restaurant!!!

Excellent service with delightful staff, good location to explore
Beautiful , interesting historic Hotel
Friendly and very helpful staff,
Timings for breakfast
Quiet location
Excellent choices of food for breakfast
Size of room definitely, One surface only, a table with 3 sockets ridiculously placed and not enough room to put devices for 2 people to charge or anything else. The corner of the cupboard above was placed in such a way, one could easily hurt one’s head, the Bathroom was far too small , altogether extremely impractical and frustrating.
Shelving impossible to reach. Wrong room choice on our part.
There are other, more spacious rooms available, which we will choose next time.

One day stay
Tidy hotel and rooms. Stuff are very nice and helpful.
Room is stylish and quiet. Comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast was nice!
Horrible lunch, everything was too salty to eat, so i didn’t eat anything by i have been charged 30€.
Was Missing bathroom set (cotton etc)
It doesn’t seems like 5 star hotel in general, more like 4+ stars, But good 4 stars hotel. So i think it’s a bit overpriced. I don’t think i will come back here for this price.

We adored this hotel. Was perfect for our mini break! A real treat.
Morning breakfast location and choices of food were superb. Very good quality. We ate very well. Coffee was great. That's always important! The room was spacious, gorgeous shower, very comfy bed, very quiet room,
Location was a calm, pretty area of the city. Lots of super restaurants. Within walking distance of the Berlin Bus stops so that we could easily get to places further afield, such as Alexanderplatz.
Air con in room was a bit noisy if you wanted a higher setting.

A good place to stay
It is situated at a good location. The staff was super friendly. Breakfast was also excellent , offering organic products from the region.
The interior design is cheap-chic mediocre hotel design (in taste, not value - everything was high quality). This historic building deserves better!

Thank you for an incredible experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything was incredible. The quality of the food but also the room. But what made our stay exceptional was by far the staff. We sometimes feel like we don't belong in these exclusive places. But the staff made us feel included and welcome every step of the way. They allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience and we are incredibly grateful for that. Thank you so much for making our stay special.
Everything was great. There was nothing we didn't enjoy.

Other Berlin hotels
Brilliant Apartments, Berlin
Brilliant Apartments offers a cozy slice of local life in Berlin's historic Prenzlauer Berg district. Housed in a beautifully restored Altbau (traditional old building) dating back to 1898, the property perfectly captures the architectural charm of late 19th-century Berlin, complete with classic high ceilings and original wooden flooring.
Lonely Planet“These 11 stylish and modern units have full kitchens and neat historic touches such as exposed red-brick walls and parquet floors. Four have balconies, one a little garden.”
Das Stue Hotel, Berlin
In Berlin’s diplomatic quarter, SO/ Berlin Das Stue is a luxury boutique hotel that masterfully blends stately history with high design. The building was originally constructed in the late 1930s by Johann Emil Schaudt—the architect behind Berlin's iconic KaDeWe department store—to serve as the Royal Danish Embassy.
Lonely Planet + 4 more“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.”
25Hours Hotel Bikini, Berlin
Completed in 1957 by architects Paul Schwebes and Hans Schoszberger, the building originally served as a textile center and factory. Local residents affectionately nicknamed it the "Bikini House" because an open-sided, colonnaded second floor split the structure into upper and lower sections, mimicking the daring two-piece swimwear of that era.
New York Times + 1 more“A fashionable, comfortable and modern experience with sweeping views of old Berlin.If the name Bikini Berlin doesn’t give you a sense of this boutique hotel’s playful vibe, you’ll get it from the bicycles dangling from the ceiling at the entrance and the receptionists’ casually hip disheveled sweatshirts.”
Michelberger Hotel, Berlin
Opened in 2009 by Tom and Nadine Michelberger, the Michelberger Hotel transformed a 1903 Wilhelmine-era light factory into a playground for independent, design-conscious travelers. Located right by the Oberbaum Bridge in Friedrichshain, the property operates as a deeply personal family business.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“The ultimate in creative crash pads, Michelberger perfectly encapsulates Berlin’s offbeat DIY spirit without being self-consciously cool. Rooms don’t hide their factory pedigree, but are comfortable and come in sizes suitable for lovebirds, families or rock bands.”
