The Concorde Berlin’s rich, warm colors offset by textured woods and eye-catching contemporary artwork serve as attractions for many holiday visitors, but the hotel’s central location and such standard touches as free wifi, 24-hour room service and multiple phones throughout each space make it an ideal stop for busy business travelers. Groups large and small can choose from among multiple stylish meeting spaces, while solo travelers can enjoy French-flavored dining in surroundings that range from casual to uber-chic (berlin.concorde-hotels.com; 800-888-4747).
