FOREST BOUTIQUE HOTEL BERLIN

Once home to the Danish embassy, the original lamps are still illuminating this wonderful 1930s salon. With five-meter high ceilings, the Bel Etage Salon presents itself as an elegant location for cocktail receptions, private dinners, small meetings or press conferences for up to 50 people. 

The Private Dining Salon certainly lives up to its name, offering a unique, intimate space for hosting, dining and discussing. Up to 30 guests can be privy to unrivaled views of antelopes, ostriches and emus in Zoo Berlin – if they can take their eyes off the captivating interior decor or the original photographs by André Rival.

The bar could almost be interpreted as a laid-back lounge. But its playful, sophisticated interior concept, coupled with soulful jazz and swing events, breathtaking views of the zoo and an impressive range of whiskey and vermouth, leaves no doubt that this is a first-class bar. The beautiful terrace invites guests to savor the moment, accompanied by dishes served from The Casual. This oasis of green nestled at the heart of Berlin exudes a welcome sense of seclusion and even shelters an exclusive entrance to Zoo Berlin amidst wonderfully lush tones of the wilderness.

The library exudes grandeur and inspiration over three floors. After all, on every floor between the staircase and guest room corridor, SO/ Berlin Das Stue offers a space dedicated to art, architecture and culture. Featuring the original parquet flooring and French doors, the entire area was elegantly designed by Patricia Urquiola with comfortable seating arrangements and an artistic ode to the zoo. Spanning 64m2 (689ft2) over three floors, the space offers free WiFi and can be booked with catering for exclusive use.
