Château Royal Berlin
Art-forward boutique hotel that feels more like a privately curated gallery than a place to sleep. Retro-inspired but genuinely authentic rather than themed. Relaxed and cosmopolitan — not stiff or precious. The kind of place where the bar is buzzy with both guests and locals, and the art on the walls is the real deal.
The rooftop terrace is easy to miss — ask at reception about access, it only operates seasonally in summer
Why It Matters
Each of the 93 rooms has a permanently displayed original artwork by a different contemporary artist — so the whole hotel is effectively a live exhibition. The buildings also have serious Cold War intrigue: between 1977 and 1989, the Stasi are believed to have operated a surveillance station here, watching the U.S. Embassy directly across the street. Co-founded by Stephan Landwehr of Grill Royal fame, the hotel brings that same socially-connected, art-world energy to hospitality.
Château Royal is a 93-room art-hotel in Berlin Mitte that opened in September 2022, created by the team behind the legendary Grill Royal restaurant. The two historic buildings — the older dating from 1880 — were comprehensively renovated with a roof extension by David Chipperfield Architects, and then filled with original commissioned artworks from over 100 contemporary artists, one per room. Interior design by Studio Irina Kromayer channels Berlin's 20th-century heyday: herringbone parquet, nickel finishes, low seating, wooden wall panelling, and vintage pieces throughout.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Apartment Suite
From EUR950 / nightThe largest room in the hotel — a two-bedroom suite located beneath the hotel's bronze dome. Flooded with natural light through oversized windows with beautiful rooftop views. The separate living room extends into the corner turret of the building. Artwork by Alicja Kwade. Genuinely apartment-scale living in the middle of Berlin.
King + King · 94 sqm
Family Room
From EUR535 / nightTwo interconnected rooms: a Large Room with a king bed plus a separate Small Room with twin beds for children. Maximum four guests. Artwork by Thomas Scheibitz features in the main room. Two bathrooms. Probably the most practical family option in a hotel that otherwise skews romantic.
King + Twin · 50 sqm
Junior Suite
From EUR375 / nightA generous and diverse category — individual floorplans mean each Junior Suite has its own character, with some featuring alcoves and others large attic windows. The right choice for a longer stay in the city. Artwork ranges across the category, with notable pieces by artists including Jorinde Voigt and Julian Göthe.
King · 36 sqmLarge Room
From EUR245 / nightThe quintessential Château Royal room. Light, airy, and genuinely spacious enough to spread out — king bed plus a proper seating area. Large windows flood the room with natural light. This is the sweet spot for most guests.
King · 30 sqmMaisonette Room
From EUR300 / nightA split-level room with a small staircase leading to an elevated sleeping and living area. Large windows face the calm inner courtyard. Feels like a compact apartment rather than a hotel room — one of the more distinctive configurations in the building.
King · 32 sqmMedium Room
From EUR220 / nightA comfortable step up. King bed with generous benches or armchairs to settle into. Three accessible/adapted versions available for wheelchair users. Same art-in-every-room formula, same quality materials — just a bit more breathing room.
King · 25 sqmSmall Room
From EUR195 / nightThe entry point — compact but with the full Château Royal experience. Queen bed, herringbone parquet floors, hand-made Craquelé tile bathroom with walk-in rain shower, and an original artwork from a contemporary artist. Soaring ceilings of 3–4 meters make the footprint feel less tight than the numbers suggest.
Queen · 20 sqmSuite
From EUR445 / nightOpen-plan suites in the historic part of the building, where four-metre ceilings give a genuinely palatial sense of space. King bed, sitting area, and a generous bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a freestanding bathtub. The original Helmut Middendorf paintings feature in some rooms.
King · 42 sqmTower Suite
From EUR520 / nightCorner suite with four-metre soaring ceilings and a sunset-facing bay window. Open-concept layout. The standout bathroom has a walk-in shower and a freestanding bathtub. One of the most architecturally distinctive rooms in the building.
