Set within a 19th century Jugendstil-era apartment building on a sidestreet off the Kurfürstendamm shopping area, the Bleibtreu is almost hidden away from public sight but offers affordable nightly rates for simple, no-nonsense rooms. An alleyway, passing through a chic garden, is the only access to the lobby. Its small rooms are minimalist but furnished in soothing natural woods and fibres in neutral tones, and offer business travelers dataports and cordless phones. The modest cafe offers al fresco dining in the tiny garden with healthy snack food, and the Restaurant Deli 31 offers American style meals like bagels and hamburgers. But there is an overall healthy living theme in this hotel, on prominent display with the offering of a wellness area with a steam room and masseuse on call. Above all, the hotel claims to provide a clean environment safe from the bustling city bursting at the seams. Bring your whole family -- kids under 12 stay free.
