sly Berlin
Industrial-chic boutique with a warm, locally-rooted personality. Think Fritz Hansen chairs, Louis Poulsen lamps, Marshall Bluetooth speakers, and a 24-hour Berlin-style Späti in the lobby instead of a minibar.
The Späti in the lobby is stocked with local craft beers, artisanal snacks and even candy cigarettes — skip the overpriced hotel breakfast and graze here the night before
Why It Matters
Winner of the 2025 German Design Award for interior architecture. The 150 rooms are individually designed around preserved round arches, oriels and old building elements — no two are identical. The rooftop KLAFS sauna with panoramic city views is genuinely rare for this price point in Berlin.
sly Berlin is a privately managed, design-forward hotel in Friedrichshain, occupying four extensively restored former furniture factory buildings. The centerpiece is a dramatic glass greenhouse restaurant in the courtyard; rooms spread across green, red and yellow wings connected by a modern interior full of plants and warm materials. It's closer to Volkspark Friedrichshain than to the Spree, putting you squarely in the thick of what locals call the New East.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
sly courtyard
The best standard option for space seekers. These 40–49 sqm rooms face the landscaped courtyard and come with a spacious balcony — you get greenery and quiet on one side, design drama on the other. Extra beds allowed here, and dogs are welcome.
King · 45 sqmsly large
26–30 sqm of the same design language but with noticeably more breathing room. Good pick if you're staying more than a couple of nights. Book this category to unlock the free breakfast offer.
King · 28 sqm
sly loft
The showpiece. 100 sqm spread across an open-plan fourth-floor suite with a king bed, a deep soaking bathtub, and — genuinely — a billiard table. Daily-restocked minibar with water, soft drinks and beer. It's the one room in the house that feels categorically different from the rest.
King · 100 sqm
sly room
The entry-level option and, honestly, well-proportioned for a short Berlin stay. These compact rooms are 17–24 sqm and designed around the high-quality king-size bed. Original factory round arches are preserved where the floor plan allows. Everything you need is here: oak floors, serpentine stone accents, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, Nespresso machine, Molton Brown toiletries and underfloor heating in the bathroom.
King · 20 sqmsly signature
At 32–35 sqm these feel like a small apartment. The standout feature is an armchair that converts into a third sleeping spot — useful for a solo traveler with a guest or a child. The extra space genuinely changes how the room feels.
King · 33 sqmsly terrace
Corner rooms of around 30 sqm with the big draw being a private terrace with outdoor seating. Great for a morning coffee outside or a late-night drink after the bar closes. Same design DNA as the other categories.
