Where to stay in Halensee

Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.

Halensee holds a small, quiet patch of Berlin near the Hochmeisterkirche. Places to stay in Halensee are limited. The district leans residential, a pocket of streets set between its churches and the Funkturm Berlin on the skyline rather than a hotel quarter, so most rooms lie a short way off in the wider city.

If you want a calm base near the Funkturm Berlin and the Hochmeisterkirche, away from the thick of central Berlin, and you accept a short hop in, Halensee can hold the stay.
