Suites also have fully equipped kitchens with a dishwasher, oven and induction hob.

Our favourite rooms

Each all-frills apartment is based around a concrete canvas, coloured with parquet flooring and bespoke, oak furnishings. For a slightly different style, we’d go for the Garden Loft 115 and its offbeat, angular layout. But our eyes are firmly on the Penthouses, where dual-aspect views are the framing feature to their two bedrooms and fire-fronted living spaces.

Poolside

There’s a small pool up on the hotel’s city-surveying rooftop for sun-soaked dips come the warmer months.

Spa

There isn’t a spa as such, but you’re welcome to book in for restorative one-hour slots at the hotel’s in-the-eaves sauna.

Packing tips

That book that’s been lingering on your to-read list for some time — Wilmina invites as much solitude as it does urban roaming.

Also

There’s a small gym equipped with the essentials if all that city roaming still hasn’t hit the spot.

Children

Welcome; the Extended Garden Lofts and Penthouses all sleep four in two bedrooms, and cots can be added to all the suites on request and subject to availability.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Pick a booth adorned with Bocci’s low-lit pendants, or a garden-gazing table for idyllic summer evenings.

Dress Code

Vintage threads aren’t a requirement, merely a way to fit in with this creatively cool crowd.

Hotel restaurant

Chef Sophia Rudolph runs the show at Lovis — the neighbouring, namesake hotel’s raved-about restaurant. Interiors are dimly lit for convivial evenings, when Germanic-inspired plates are prepared with farm-fresh ingredients and paired with vintage labels. You’re also welcome to light, buffet-style bites (including fresh yoghurts, granola, jams and oven-warm sourdough) come morning, served in the hotel’s light-bathed breakfast room. And if pastries are your preference, Lotta welcomes all-day grazing with a sapid selection of home-made goodies. And there's more bakes to be sampled at the hotel's in-house bakery, Wilmina Brot.

Hotel bar

You’re encouraged to order based solely on a trio of notes at Lovis’ connected bar, where a labelless row of bottles are the fronting pièce de résistance and menus, an elusive list of numbered cocktails.

Last orders

Breakfast is from 7am to 11am (8am to noon on Sundays); Lotta opens from 9am to 6pm, and dinner at Lovis serves dinner between 6.30pm and 11pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Drinks are poured from 6pm.

Address
Wilmina Suites
Kantstrasse 79
Berlin
10627
Germany

Wilmina Suites sits alongside its namesake hotel in Berlin’s western neighbourhood of Charlottenburg, along Kanstrasse.

Planes

Most international hubs have routes to Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which is around half an hour from the suites by car.

Trains

Charlottenburg station is less than a 10-minute walk away, and is on the city’s S-Bahn subway line. If you’re travelling cross-country, Berlin Central Station is a 30-minute drive away.

Automobiles

Berlin’s strong transport links mean you won’t need a car. If you are bringing your wheels, there’s private underground parking on-site for €26 a night.

Worth getting out of bed for

You’re more likely to spot roaming locals than out-of-towners around Charlottenburg, where boutiques, bookshops and antique stores stand between characterful altbau blocks. The Baroque façade of Schloss Charlottenburg and Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church’s hallowed halls satisfy culture cravings, and Museum Berggruen houses a conversation-starting selection of modern art. 

There’s Savignyplatz and all its bordering eateries for those seeking green space, and the 126-metre high observation deck at Berliner Funkturm offers a boundless snapshot of this striking city.

Local restaurants

Minimalist interiors make way for plates to impress at Pars, a revered restaurant from sculptor-slash-chocolatier Kristiane Kegelmann. Seasonal seven- or four-course menus are masterminded by head chef Florian Sperlhofer, and include an elevated selection of German-Austrian classics, served to a central communal table. Exteriors at 893 Ryōtei Japanese Restaurant may seem unassuming, but spot its numerical neon sign and you’ll be greeted by a cocktail-sipping clientele, the tempting aroma of tempura, and low-lit tables topped with platters of sashimi and sushi. For patties with all sorts of surprising sauces (including a secret housemade special) stop off at the Butcher — a locally loved burger joint down Kantstrasse. 

Local cafés

Audrey Coffee has your caffeine fix sorted courtesy of artful matcha lattes, fresh-bean brews and flavour-packed brunch picks that are artful camera fodder too.

Local bars

Galander Charlottenburg was one of the early players in this neighbourhood’s renaissance, when interiors were carefully restored from their 1920s salon-style glory with ornate chandeliers, dark wood accents and rouged leather booths. And cocktails are equally enticing for their spirited bases and creative blends.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this aparthotel in Charlottenburg and unpacked their antique finds and film cameras, a full account of their capital break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Wilmina Suites in Berlin…

Almost 15 years ago local architect firm, Grüntuch-Ernst, came across an abandoned female prison that still held its historic form. After extensive renovations, the set-back building reopened as Wilmina hotel, with welcoming interiors and warm Bocci-made lighting that brought life back into the prison’s lamented walls. And following the lauded success of their Smith-approved stay, the Grüntuchs decided to expand their reach with a newly renovated block of apartments, Wilmina Suites.

Designs follow the minimalist flow of the hotel’s original rooms, but instead of wrought-iron doors and original arches, each space features concrete ceilings, softened with one-off artwork, pale palettes and light-welcoming windowed walls. There are fully equipped kitchens and sprawling living areas for evenings in, and the hotel’s esteemed eateries and handful of hangouts (including a billiards room and bookable sauna) are your calming antidote to Charlottenburg’s buzz.
