What Captivated Our Readers

When choosing their top hotels in Berlin, Dinogo readers prioritized properties that provided convenient access to the city’s premier attractions. Our top choice, The Ritz-Carlton, and our second place, Grand Hyatt Berlin, are both located in the city center, just a short distance from the vibrant Potsdamer Platz square and key sites like Checkpoint Charlie and Tiergarten Park. Guests at Grand Hyatt Berlin particularly enjoyed the renowned Vox Restaurant, a local favorite since 1998, featuring an open show kitchen and a summer terrace overlooking Potsdamer Platz. Additionally, readers praised the 25Hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, ranked third this year, known for its quirky boutique vibe with colorful modular sofas, rooms featuring hammocks, and unique wall art by Japanese artist Yoshi Sislay.
