Located in Berlin’s central and hip district of Mitte, wedged in between chic fashion outlets, shops, galleries and media agencies, the Lux 11 Berlin comprises 72 apartments. The talented London architecture firm Silvestrin/Salmaso is to thank for the modern elegance and stylishness of this revamped 19th century building. Despite being trendy among the media and jet set crowd, its buzz and its design elements are not “noisy”: there is a perpetual zen atmosphere in these whitewashed, minimalist luxury service apartments, where the staff prefer to leave you to your own devices rather than breathe down your neck with cloying service. Self-sufficiency is the word of the day, as each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, with microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, even washers and dryers. Perks include a laundry room, a wellness center with sauna and Aveda salon and spa, and well-sized rooms starting at 30 square meters with flat-screen TVs and WiFi access. We recommend indulging in the larger rooms with adjoining balconies. The ground floor lounge of the hotel is a hot spot for guests and locals to mingle and socialize.
