Rocco Forte Hotel De Rome, Palace hotel in Bebelplatz, Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The Rocco Forte Hotel De Rome sits in a grand building at Bebelplatz featuring sandstone balustrades, stucco work, and golden mosaics on walls and ceilings. It offers a 20-meter pool, wellness facilities, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
The building was constructed in 1889 and served as Dresdner Bank headquarters until 1945. Italian architect Tommaso Ziffer transformed it into a hotel in 2006.
The original banking building reveals itself through the hotel's ornate details, which echo Berlin's era as a prosperous financial center. Visitors sense this past in the elaborate rooms and their finishings.
The Bebelplatz location makes the hotel a practical starting point for visitors to the State Opera House and Berlin Cathedral. Parking and bus stops are nearby.
The spa occupies a former safe deposit vault where dark tiles mark the positions of around 400 safes and an original money hatch filters the light. This unusual detail creates a completely different kind of wellness experience.
