Hotel Review
SO/ Berlin Das Stue, Berlin, Germany
Das Stue means 'living room' in Danish - this homely and luxurious hotel bordering the Tiergarten was once the Royal Danish Embassy. Now it's an enchanting five-star hotel, part of Sofitel's fashion-led SO brand, with designer rooms, great cuisine and a tranquil Austrian spa. If you fancy a country break in the heart of a big city, this is as good as it gets.

THE FACILITIES
The young and helpful team are ready to dish out directions and advice at the small reception desk between the entrance hall and bar. Break a sweat in the SO/ FIT gym, which has a view of the zoo. You can also hire bikes.
