PB hotel design editorial

Tucked into the layered Hinterhof geography of Friedrichshain, where pre-war brick factory buildings and postwar stucco blocks share the same courtyard air, Sly Berlin draws its character directly from this East Berlin typology rather than trying to escape it. The exterior image tells the story plainly: warm honey-coloured brick with arched window heads on one wing, a rendered grey neighbour alongside, a glass conservatory structure visible in the courtyard below — multiple eras of Berlin building compressed into a single backyard view. The 60-room hotel works with this inherited complexity, treating the Kiez's architectural layering as the design concept itself. Inside, the rooms settle into a palette of deep teal-green walls, herringbone oak parquet, crushed-velvet headboards in warm grey, and amber velvet accent chairs that pick up the courtyard brick tones glimpsed through the tall, dark-framed windows. Verner Panton's Panthella lamp appears on the bedside table — a precise mid-century reference that recurs across the room types and lends the interiors a considered European hotel intelligence rather than passing trend. The conservatory restaurant below, visible in the courtyard shot, is dressed in mirrored globe pendants, terrazzo flooring, tropical planting, and rust-red upholstered tub chairs — festive without tipping into pastiche. Above it all, a cedar-lined rooftop sauna frames the Fernsehturm directly through full-height glazing, which is probably the most characteristically Berlin amenity a hotel could offer.

sly Berlin Reviews

"The sly Berlin is an unconventional hotel in an unconventional location on the edge of Friedrichshain towards Prenzlauer Berg. Unfortunately, this location is inconvenient considering that it is part of Central Berlin, underground and suburban trains as well as buzzing neighbourhoods are far. For all other aspects, the stay was an absolutely pleasant surprise. Already during check-in, our receptionist Nicole did everything she could in order to accommodate a generous upgrade to a larger room even before check-in time. That room was beautiful, high ceilings, exceptional design, a huge bathroom, a nice bed and a pleasant air- conditioner. The public spaces of the hotel combine Danish, British and tropical design aspects within a charming combination of several buildings of classic Berlin architecture - a very tasteful appeal. The smell of Molton Brown amenities enhanced our visit, as well as our I Prefer Titanium amenities: some sweet delight treats, a hand-written welcome card, welcome drink vouchers, which were valid for cocktails of exceptional bar craftsmanship quality, and a 22 Euro food consumption voucher, which inspired us to enjoy breakfast as well. Product selection and quality were surprisingly impressive, service and atmosphere pleasant in the early morning. Just make sure to ask for barista coffee! Also, the price for value ratio for breakfast, drinks and accommodation convinces to the fullest. The general service level was mixed, with some of the front desk team members not being perfectly informed, but still a positive overall impression remained due to Nicole's exceptional work. Overall, despite its inconvenient location, sly Berlin promises a lovely hotel experience."

"The Sly Hotel in Berlin is outstanding in every way. Don’t be deceived by the slightly humble exterior. Behind the entrance doors are superbly crafted spaces with beautifully tasteful interior design. Customer Service delivery is exemplar by highly trained professional staff. The restaurant is a highly efficient space within a stunning glass atrium and led by a top class chef. I would give this superb hotel 6 stars if I could!"
