Meliá Berlin

Scene

Modern hotel with exclusive level offering VIP services

On a busy street and across from a river, Meliá Berlin is a big, modern hotel that tends to draw older travelers and those in town on business. A cocktail bar with white couches and funky glass tables offers guests a lounging area near the windows in the lobby. There’s Bar Melia Tapas, a restaurant and bar with yellow walls and a wooden bar where guest can grab Mediterranean and Spanish bites. Panoramic river views are available at Cafe Madrid, the other onsite restaurant/breakfast buffet. For guests staying on The Level, there’s access to an exclusive breakfast room with white booth seating and red chairs. A lounge on The Level has an executive feel with red floors and carpeting, and a big flat-screen TV.
