Places to Stay in Berlin:
HOTEL KUGELHOPF: Charming, stately, wonderful old grande dame of Berlin hotels, with gilded mirrors in the halls, sumptuous lobby, and a turn-of-the-century bar. The service is impeccable: the concierge is top-rate, and the slight-of-frame bellman with the wispy beard will delight you as he peppers you with questions about your political beliefs and asks you to repudiate Bush administration policy on Iraq and Global Warming. Full spa.
HOTEL SUPERFANTASTICHE: Hip, chic, and cutting edge, this hotel is the ultimate place to see and be seen. The design is up-to-the-minute, with clean lines and colorful furniture arranged in a dynamic way. You'll see why people are calling Berlin the "New Design City" and the "Opinion and Tastemakers City" as you sit in the hip hotel bar, eyes stinging from the cigarette smoke, trying to politely dispute the assertion of the people seated on your left, and right, that there's very little difference between Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush. Lobby has a DJ.
GASTHAUS KAISERSMARREN: Classic Berlin guesthouse, with a wrought-iron staircase, tall windows, a ginger cat, and over-stuffed furniture. Rooms are small but make up for it in atmosphere. If you're Jewish, you'll really, really feel uncomfortable. An experience! MC and Visa only.
