Twenty years ago when the Berlin wall fell, visitors new to the former East Berlin had no where to stay but run down, rudely staffed hotels. But in 1997, new hotels began to rise in the city with the first luxurious Hotel Adlon Kempinski and in 2006, the Lux 11 opened the first design hotel. But in the past two years, reasonably priced modern and fashionable hotels have been built. Here are a few:
The
Casa Camper is a 51-room hotel that is run by Spanish clothing designer Camper and draws clientele from a fashionable European travelers and party-goers. One night here is about EUR 150.
The
Hotel Amano 163-room deep with staff dolled-up in tailored suits, copper and slate paved floors with brown velvet upholstery. The rooms here will only cost around $150 a night.
Circus Hotel is equip with flat screen TVs in every room, breakfast served in bed, this hotel is centered around bars, restaurants, and galleries in every direction. One night is about EUR 68.

No, but they look awesome!
Just in youth hostels or cheap hotels.
I haven't been to Berlin. I don't mind staying in a backpacker's motel. I don't care much for 5 stars rating and all those shit.
@Werewolf@mancouch - I agree
I stayed in Motel One in Alexanderplatz. Super stylish & cheap too! 84euros/nite. Totally worth the money + great location!
