Sofitel Announces Sofitel Berlin Das Stue, Bringing French Luxury to One of Berlin's Most Iconic Hotels

Accor, a global leader in hospitality, announces the transition of SO/ Berlin Das Stue to Sofitel Berlin Das Stue, further strengthening Sofitel's presence in Germany and reinforcing the brand's growth in Europe's leading cultural capitals. Scheduled to officially join the Sofitel network in Q1 2027, the iconic 78-room hotel will combine its distinctive heritage and celebrated design with Sofitel's signature French zest and heartfelt luxury.

Located on the edge of Berlin's Tiergarten and overlooking the Zoological Garden, Sofitel Berlin Das Stue will bring a distinctive sense of place to one of the city's most renowned boutique luxury addresses. Housed within a heritage-protected 1930s neoclassical building that originally served as the Royal Danish Embassy, the hotel has become synonymous with refined contemporary design and heartfelt luxury. The property has retained its Danish identity, reflected in its name, "Das Stue", meaning "living room", a tribute to the building's diplomatic origins.

The transition marks an important milestone in Sofitel's European development strategy, adding a highly distinctive luxury property to the brand's growing collection of landmark hotels in key gateway cities.

An Intimate Luxury Retreat in the Heart of Berlin

Situated in Berlin's prestigious embassy district, directly adjacent to Tiergarten park and the Berlin Zoological Garden, the hotel offers a tranquil urban retreat just moments from the city's cultural and diplomatic landmarks. Some guestrooms even feature direct views of the zoo's animal enclosures, creating a uniquely immersive connection to nature within the heart of the German capital.

The hotel's transformation into a luxury retreat was originally envisioned by Axthelm Rolvien Architekten and internationally acclaimed designer Patricia Urquiola. Together, they created an atmosphere that blends diplomatic heritage with sophisticated residential elegance, giving guests the feeling of entering an exclusive private residence rather than a traditional hotel.

As part of the transition to Sofitel, the property will undergo a carefully curated enhancement program designed to align the hotel with Sofitel standards while preserving its distinctive character and acclaimed design language. Planned improvements include guestroom upgrades, enhanced bedding and soft furnishings, refreshed public spaces, updated signage, corridor refurbishments and a reimagined lobby experience featuring new artistic and decorative elements

Preserving Heritage, elevating the experience

Sofitel Berlin Das Stue will feature 78 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, including the exclusive Bel Etage Suite and Penthouse Suite. Guests will enjoy a wellness offering featuring an indoor heated swimming pool, spa, fitness facilities, private meeting spaces and distinctive dining experiences reflective of Sofitel's culinary excellence.

The property's evolution into Sofitel Berlin Das Stue will celebrate the unique dialogue between Danish heritage, contemporary design and Berlin's cultural energy, while introducing Sofitel's renowned standards of service, gastronomy and hospitality

Strengthening Sofitel's presence in Europe

The addition of Sofitel Berlin Das Stue further reinforces Sofitel's strategic growth across key 15 European destinations with the addition of Sofitel Dublin in 2027, strengthening the brand's portfolio of luxury hotels in some of the world's most desirable urban markets. As Sofitel continues to expand globally, the brand remains committed to offering unique luxury experiences that seamlessly blend local culture with French elegance and refined hospitality.

Germany is one of Accor's core European markets, with a strong and diversified portfolio of nearly 300 hotels and more than 43,000 rooms across all segments. In addition, around 30 projects are currently in development, reflecting the continued attractiveness of the market for Accor and its partners.
