Hellmann Schlosshotel
Golden Twenties Art Deco glamour meets fashion-world sensibility. Think black-and-white pinstripe fabrics, velvet, oversized designer beds, and an atmosphere that feels more private members' club than conventional hotel.
Book the conservatory table for breakfast — garden views from that sun-flooded room are genuinely special.
Why It Matters
One of Berlin's most historically rich small luxury hotels — the guest list over the years includes Robert Kennedy, Josephine Baker, Errol Flynn, and the Rolling Stones (who famously trashed some priceless porcelain in 1965). The 110 sqm Karl Lagerfeld Suite remains unchanged from his original design. Named 'Leading Boutique Hotel Germany' at the World Travel Awards and a Forbes Travel Guide Award winner in 2023.
A 1914 Italian Renaissance palace tucked in Berlin's leafy Grunewald residential quarter, the Schlosshotel started life as the private home of Walther von Pannwitz — Kaiser Wilhelm II's personal legal adviser and, reportedly, the Kaiser's first overnight guest. Fashion designer Patrick Hellmann took over in 2014, layering his own art-forward, tuxedo-chic aesthetic onto interiors that Karl Lagerfeld had previously worked on. The result is 53 rooms across two buildings: gold leaf and Prussian portraits coexist with Lalique crystal fittings and large-format fashion photography, all overlooking a manicured private park.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Boutique Room
Garden-facing rooms with large bathrooms featuring either a bathtub or shower, cotton bathrobes and slippers. Classic in feel, with the Schloss's signature attention to textiles and art.
35 sqm
Deluxe Junior Suite
Classically styled at around 50 sqm, these suites add a separate living room with seating area and a kitchenette — good for longer stays or those wanting a bit of breathing room.
50 sqm
Deluxe Room
Classic-style rooms with garden views and spacious bathrooms featuring a bathtub with built-in shower. Designed in a more traditional register than the Hellmann-signed Premium rooms.
35 sqmExecutive Suite
One-bedroom suite in the main palace building with a contemporary classic design. At 70 sqm there's genuine space — entrance area, seating, and a bathroom with walk-in shower plus separate toilet.
70 sqmKaiser Suite
The grandest option in the hotel at 200 sqm across two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, connected by a generously proportioned living room. A separate dining room seats six, there's a guest toilet, and the impressive library retains its original 1914 frescos and furniture. This is the suite where the Kaiser himself reportedly stayed.
Two bedrooms · 200 sqmLibrary Suite
Top-floor palace suite with vaulted ceilings and a decorative French fireplace in the living room. A separate study area makes it a favourite with writers and long-stay guests. The bathroom has a bathtub and walk-in shower.
95 sqmPremium Junior Suite
Patrick Hellmann-designed suites in the main palace building, with an adjoining living room and seating area. Each one is unique, decorated with art sourced from around the world and finished in the designer's signature fashion-forward aesthetic.
50 sqmPremium Room
Individually furnished and designed by Patrick Hellmann himself, these rooms sit in the main palace building and are hung with original art from around the world. Available in two design flavours — New York and Bohème — with tuxedo blacks and whites, Lalique inlays on wardrobes, and velvet headboards.
38 sqmSuite Karl Lagerfeld
The one suite that Patrick Hellmann never touched. At 110 sqm on the first floor of the main palace, this was Karl Lagerfeld's personal design — an oversized Art Deco bedroom with a 230×210 cm bed, handmade tiles and a white marble bathroom floor, and a balcony overlooking the garden. Living room, separate working desk, and cotton bathrobes complete the picture.
