The Trivago-travel community awards the privately run Hotel OTTO as “Top 1 Designerhotel Berlin”.

The largest European travel community, Trivago, chooses the privately run Hotel OTTO in Berlin-Charlottenburg as the best design hotel in Berlin. Taken from more than 150,000 guest reviews on design hotels in Berlin, the stylish Hotel OTTO wins with the highest overall ranking of the reviews and is as of now at the top of the list of Berlin’s best design hotels.

46 renovated and newly equipped rooms and suites offer modern comfort in urban design. The OTTO concept was developed by the well-known creative consultants “Kessler + Kessler” from Zurich. Absolute highlight of the modern boutique hotel is the breakfast lounge “Etage07” on the top floor of the hotel with adjacent sun terrace and fantastic views over Berlin’s rooftops. Chic Arper armchairs, chairs and tables, light cream tones, paired with prominent anthracite and colour accents in fuchsia award the lounge with timeless style.

The modern rooms offer functional comfort and contemporary design: the fabrics of the trendy Arper armchairs are taken from the series “small dots” by Charles and Ray Eames. Various Tolomeo lamps smartly light up the generous rooms. From the desk light, to the reading lamp over the bed up to the mobile standing light everything originates from the designseries by Artemide. The rooms are furnished with individually designed furniture from light wood.

Bright colour accents alternate with neutral colours. All materials have been produced by kvadrat, one of the top design textiles manufacturers. Technical features at Hotel OTTO, like flat screen TVs in all rooms and free wireless internet in the entire hotel round off the offer.

The original hotel Westerland was built in 1965 and opened in the 70’s. The Haas sons acquired the real estate in 2006 and Rita Mueller took over the daily hotel business. In autumn of 2007 extensive interior and exterior remodeling was accomplished in spring 2008.
