The Albergo can be described as a temple of luxury right in the heart of Western Berlin's Wilmersdorf district. Don't get confused by the name of this former Russian Orthodox cathedral that refers to a small guesthouse in Italian, for the handsome, dignified building has an interior that is in complete contrast to its rather austere Venetian red façade. Artists from Florence have transformed this unique hotel into a gallery and the rooms into works of art.

Every detail, from the Florentine murals and terrazzo floor to thirty-six stylish red and gold bedrooms, baroque wall mirrors and individually produced cherry wood period furniture pays tribute to Italian renaissance.

The charming atmosphere of the Albergo restaurant with its sumptuous breakfast buffet offers a wonderful start to the day.

Santini is often referred to as the culinary heart of Albergo. Whether you wish to enjoy a relaxing lunch in the terrace garden or dinner in the opulent interior of a gourmet restaurant, the venue represents Italy's love of life in its purest form.

After having fresh pasta or a delightful three-course meal, you could retire downstairs to the wine cellar and sample the large selection of Italian wines sitting by the fireside. Dining at Santini may well turn out to be an experience to remember.
