Expert reviews
“Just off Berlin’s grand royal boulevard of Unter den Linden, the imposing Hotel de Rome is popular with visiting diplomats and politicians. It has an unexpected back story: as the central bank of the German Democratic Republic, it likely played host to even more backroom deals than it does today.”
“Occupying a refurbished 19th-century neoclassical bank on Berlin’s famous Unter den Linden boulevard, Hotel de Rome, a Rocco Forte Hotel is both historically resplendent and daringly modern.”
“Discreet service and a boutique atmosphere make the Hotel de Rome a major draw for the Hollywood jet set. The general feel is traditional, but eccentric design details like oversized furniture and brightly colored accents add an undercurrent of excitement.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Berlin.
“Converted from a grand 19th-century bank, this Rocco Forte property enjoys a glamorous location on Unter den Linden’s historic Bebelplatz. The interior combines original architectural features with impressive contemporary flair, and restrained but luxurious rooms, a classy restaurant and bar, and a refined spa.”

Fantastic stay!
Breakfast was excellent. Location couldn’t be better. Staff were so kind and welcoming.
Room size was a little smaller than I’d have liked.

Wonderful service, a splendid rooftop bar, and was a quiet oasis in an otherwise busy town.
Julian the concierge was a great help.

Sad it has lost the quality and elegance it had a few years ago. I won’t go back.
I went with my dog and it was received with a box of goodies. I appreciated that very much. Staff was nice. Gym was clean and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable.
It was run down. Bed headrest worn out. Old stained lamps by the bed. Ugly decoration unmatching materials. The place has changed a lot in the last few years. Saw a man bring in a prostitute to a next door room from the street. It was advertised that there was a pool and when I went to spa was told it doesn’t exist anymore.

overall a good stay.
Breakfast location and rooms excellent. Excellent concierge service as well.

Fabulous! Location is outstanding and staff friendly
Wonderful staff, and concierge who organised anything I asked for. Beautifully comfortable room and bathroom with bath.
Slight sexist attitude towards a mature woman travelling alone. Tendency not to be treated the same as a man alone i.e. not offered table in best position despite being in house guest.

Lovely stay in a fabulous hotel.
Booked the hotel for a celebratory birthday weekend. It’s in the perfect central location for seeing the sights and exploring Berlin. It’s a beautiful hotel and the room was very quiet.
Unfortunately, the swimming pool was closed due to refurbishment and the rooftop bar wasn’t open as planned due to bad weather.

a great hotel but let themselves down with the way spa is operated.
room excellent
the hotel claim to have a spa. when I was there I discovered it didn’t open until 10 and the sauna etc not until 4pm. I had a free morning before some important meetings and looked forward to using the spa which is part of the hotel. to find it was closed was disappointing to say the least.

Great hotel but housekeeping needs improvement
The location and building is incredible
The house keeping was lacking. No coffee or tea in the room. Everyday they would remove the tea cups and glasses without providing new ones. Kettle and tray provided was dirty
