Waldorf Astoria Berlin

The most complete hotel spa floor in Berlin. A thousand square metres on the fifth floor of the Zoofenster tower, run with Guerlain: sauna, steam room, a cloud-shaped pool, a five-senses hydrotherapy circuit and an outdoor terrace, with the gym open around the clock. It is the polished, hushed end of the Berlin spectrum rather than the ritual end — no Aufguss, no shouting — which is either exactly what you want after a week of the city or slightly beside the point, depending on why you came. Charlottenburg, over the Zoo, in the old West.
