Hotels in Mitte
The limits of Berlin’s smallest district correspond the city’s dimension of 1840. Consequently, this is where most historic monuments and the famous museum are to be found. In the past decade, Mitte has experienced a construction and tourist boom, with hotels and shops sprouting up, as around Friedrichstraße. Besides, many old edifices have been refurbished, although the major project – the master plan for the Museums Island – will not be concluded until 2015.

Hotels in Charlottenburg and Tiergarten
If you travel by train, you will probably arrive at Berlin’s grand central station, opened in 2006, close to the new parliamentary district and the modern centre around Potsdamer Platz. But, although Zoo station was downgraded, there are still many nice hotels to be found in the vicinity and around Ku’damm. What once was the centre of former West Berlin continues to be a most popular shopping area, beneath the distinctive silhouette of the Memorial Church. Not far from Charlottenburg palace, where some Prussian kings used to spend the summer, are also the fairgrounds, the convention centre and the Olympic Stadium.
In the middle of Tiergarten, which also is the name of a park with a surface of over 500 acres, lies another of Berlin’s landmarks: The Victory column, which you may want to climb, after a morning run or a placid walk in this green oasis in the heart of the city.

Hotels in Schöneberg and Willmersdorf
Near to Potsdamer Platz, Kreuzberg and Ku’damm shopping area, Schöneberg is the perfect base for trips in all directions. There are nice antiquities, fashion and design shops in the area, the atmosphere is relaxed, with slight touch of Bohème. Some streets are firmly in hands of the gay scene, but still you meet quite a mixed crowd here at night.
Wilmersdorf is much quieter and more bourgeois, with beautiful mansions from the last 100 years, not only in the residential areas lining/along Grunewald forest. But even here you find some corners where you can sense a whiff of the twenties – it’s definitely Berlin.
Schöneberg town hall, formerly seat of the West Berlin government, saw a historical moment on 26 June, 1963 when John F. Kennedy, on his visit to the Cold-War border town, spoke the unforgotten words: "Ich bin ein Berliner"… (Click here lo listen).

Hotels in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain
Kreuzberg, which in post-war Berlin was part of the American sector (Checkpoint Charlie), lay in the shade of the wall. While the average citizen fled these areas, the quarter turned into a refuge for people eager to experiment new social and artistic forms. Immigrants, mainly of Turkish origin, also settled here, as the housing was cheap - and derelict! Although the wild times of the squatters’ movement have long passed, some of that spirit still lingers. You may best experience this multicultural flair in May 2007 (25 – 28) at the Carnival of Cultures. The nearby ‘Landwehrkanal” is an enticing place for a walk or a boat trip.
The Eastern ‘sister district’ Friedrichshain, on the other side of the river Spree, is quite different, but nonetheless interesting. Between Karl-Marx- Allee, a monumental avenue from Stalinist times, and the East Side Gallery on the remains of former wall you get a different idea of Berlin. Don’t miss the quarter around Simon-Dach-Straße, popular not only with students and perfect for a night out.
