Located next to the State Opera House on the Bebelplatz where in 1933 young Nazis burned over 20,000 books, the luxurious Hotel de Rome boasts a prime location close to Berlin’s Museum Island and its cultural treasures. Formerly the headquarters of the Dresden Bank dating back to 1889, the Hotel de Rome holds many treasures of its own. Downstairs, the original jewelry vault has been converted into a state-of-the-art spa complete with a 65-foot indoor swimming pool. The design mixes a neo-classical aesthetic with Art Deco elements, where the 146 rooms and 39 suites reflect an understated sense of grandeur. The building is so immense that even the smallest of the rooms feel positively spacious. Bathrooms feature stand alone bathtubs sized for two people, spacious rain showers, and luxurious toiletry products. For the ultimate indulgence, reserve one of the suites with a private terrace or balcony.
