Sir Savigny Hotel, Berlin, a Member of Design Hotels

Sir Savigny is a 44-room luxury urban retreat built in 1893 is characterized by cool metals, cozy calfskins, and wood, while Art Nouveau elements complement mid-century modern details. Here, the cutting-edge and the traditional augment each other in the wondrous room designs of Saar Zafrir from Amsterdam, whose tell-it-like-it-is mantra—“Creativity is intelligence having fun”—brilliantly captures two key elements reigning at this Kantstrasse retreat: ingenious imagination and the enticement of pleasure. Indeed, that pleasure unfolds liberally on the ground floor, which is sleekly designed by Baranowitz + Kronenberg and includes Sir Savigny’s burger bar, The Butcher, which presents drinks and perfect burgers made from Scottish Aberdeen Angus beef; at the hotel’s beguiling bar; and at the garden, a private green oasis in the middle of Charlottenburg for the enjoyment of hotel guests and Berlin locals.
