Where to stay when visiting Berlin for the first time?

That’s often the first question travelers ask when planning their trip to Germany’s capital. Naturally, you’ll want a central location to reach all the must-see sights easily – without spending too much time underground in U-Bahn or S-Bahn trains. Berlin is a vast city, that’s for sure. While many cool neighborhoods are scattered throughout, most of the main attractions are concentrated in the district of Mitte – the very heart of Berlin. This area is home to numerous restaurants, bars, cafés, shopping venues, and some of the city’s best hotels – like the Arte Luise Art Hotel. Guests who stay here find themselves immersed in what feels like an art gallery. Every corner of the hotel is adorned with artwork. A unique experience you won’t want to miss!

Discover our hotel and extraordinary rooms

From the moment you check in at our hotel in Mitte, you’ll be welcomed in the lobby by sculptures and art installations. A philosophical journey through the stairwell leads you to rooms and suites in the upper floors of our 19th-century building. Each of the 50 rooms has been individually designed by a different artist. Choosing just one is a challenge – you’ll want to see all 50 art-filled spaces for yourself. No two rooms are alike. For example, compare the room “The Poor Poet” by Berlin-based artist Andreas Paeslack with “Glamour” by Heiner Meyer from Bielefeld.

In Room 300, “The Poor Poet,” the spirit of Carl Spitzweg – a contemporary of this house – lives on. Andreas Paeslack created a three-dimensional reinterpretation of Spitzweg’s famous painting, allowing guests to become part of the scene themselves – the poet in the painting.

In Room 207, “Glamour,” the golden age of 1950s and 60s Hollywood comes to life. A portrait of Audrey Hepburn gazes over the bed, a crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and a vintage dressing room mirror transports you to a different world.

Of course, free Wi-Fi is available throughout our beautiful hotel. So, you can easily book your next stay with us and try a different room or suite. Or maybe you’ve already found your favorite?

Dining Next Door: HABEL Restaurant at The Reichstag

Just next to the hotel, the HABEL am Reichstag restaurant takes care of your culinary needs. Here, guests enjoy regional specialties with a Mediterranean twist in a charming vaulted brick interior. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast, a warm lunch, or dinner – HABEL is the perfect spot to start your sightseeing day with a hearty meal before heading out to the Brandenburg Gate, Alexanderplatz, or Potsdamer Platz.

Explore Berlin Mitte

Our hotel is located right in the center of Berlin, on Luisenstraße in the Mitte district. We’re just a short walk from Berlin’s main station (Hauptbahnhof) and the Friedrichstraße train station. From here, you can begin your walking tour of Berlin Mitte.

For history lovers, we recommend visiting the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and Checkpoint Charlie. Culture fans will enjoy Museum Island with its world-renowned Pergamon Museum, Bode Museum, Berlin Cathedral, and the newly rebuilt palace, now home to the Humboldt Forum. The nearby German Historical Museum and the Berlin State Opera are also worth a visit.

Shopping lovers will find their fix on Friedrichstraße, at Potsdamer Platz, Hackescher Markt, or Alexanderplatz. Don’t miss the chance to ride up the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) for a panoramic view of the once-divided Berlin. Can you spot where the Wall used to be? In the evening, catch a spectacular show at the nearby Friedrichstadt-Palast – just a short walk from the hotel.

Discover The Rest of Berlin

Thanks to our boutique hotel’s ideal location in Mitte, exploring the rest of Berlin is easy and convenient. The nearby Friedrichstraße and Main Station connect you to the entire city. Many guests venture out to Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg, and Charlottenburg. Friedrichshain is a magnet for night owls with its bustling bars and legendary clubs. Kreuzberg also offers vibrant nightlife and a laid-back atmosphere for dining and dancing. During the day – especially on weekends – locals and tourists stroll along the Landwehr Canal, enjoying fresh air and sunshine. On Sundays, Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg is a hotspot. It’s hard to leave the flea market there without a souvenir. Afterwards, enjoy street musicians, sip coffee, lick some ice cream, or dine in one of the many international restaurants. Small, independent boutiques also make this area a shopper’s paradise.

Looking for big-name brands or luxury shopping? Head to the Kurfürstendamm in Charlottenburg. This district is also home to the world’s most species-rich zoo, where you can explore exotic habitats from savannas to tropical jungles to arctic worlds. Wherever your Berlin adventure takes you – the city offers unforgettable experiences at every turn.
