Whether you’re planning to visit Berlin for your first time or you’re looking for a short weekend getaway or holiday in Germany’s capital city, be sure to consider Hecker’s Hotel on the Kufurstendamm.

Location, location, location

They say location is everything but it’s especially true when you’re travelling.  The last thing you want is to travel and hour in and out of the city each day to see sights and attractions.  Hecker’s Hotel is located on Grolmanstrasse, just steps from the heart of the Kufurstendamm, Berlin’s newer downtown where you can experience history, attractions, restaurants, and entertainment all at once.

Nearby

Hecker’s Hotel is located just off of the Kufurstendamm, one of the centres of the city of Berlin.  Here you’ll find German designers, high-end fashion brands, art galleries and boutique art shops, as well as KaWeDe, one of the most well-known department stores in the country. 

The hotel is located near Savingnyplatz and Uhlandstrasse train stations.  For those looking to see Berlin in 24-48 hours, the hotel is located near one of the main stops for the double-decker tourist buses that will take you around Berlin in 15-or-so stops and back to Hecker’s at the end of the day. 

Rooms

The four-star hotel’s new lobby offers a contemporary setting to start your holiday in Berlin.  69 rooms (single, double) and suites offer visitors clean, comfortable accommodations with the modern luxuries of newly renovated marble bathrooms and LCD flat screen TV’s in every room and suites.  There is also free WiFI throughout the hotel with a login/password provided by the front desk. 

Amenities

With most stays and packages, the hotel’s breakfast buffet is included in the price of your accommodations. The hotel also has a rooftop lounge or lobby bar.  For lunches and dinners, there are many restaurants nearby including the Cassambalis hotel that offers Mediterranean cuisine.  Hecker’s also partners with the nearby Aspria Spa & Sporting club for spa treatments or gym passes. 

Packages

If you’re planning a themed getaway – whether it’s romance or shopping, Hecker’s Hotel offers fantastic packages that could include: cooking lessons, running/jogging tours, golf, and entertainment.
