Guest rooms in soft colors, with Biedermeier furniture and optional classical music that's "the appropriate accompaniment," nab perfect scores for this "intimate hotel" on the historic Gendarmenmarkt Square. Marble dominates the public spaces; the well-stocked bar specializes in inventive snacks such as lobster cocktail with Piedmont cherries and toast. "We still talk about breakfast's fantastic cheese and meat trays."
