The official hotel of the Berlin International Film Festival since the 1950s, when Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren walked its corridors — Hotel Zoo was fully renovated in 2014 with Hollywood designers Dayna Lee and Ted Berner, resulting in 145 eccentric, bespoke rooms in a lively Ku'damm location. The Grace Bar is one of Berlin's better hotel bars; the rooftop terrace overlooks the zoo. A characterful mid-range option for those wanting Berlin's western axis and a genuine history story.
