With Berlin’s reputation as a hub for nightlife and debauchery, there must be a calmer side to balance it. Fortunately, the German obsession with spas and saunas offers that restorative element. Get naked, scrub down, steam, and feel refreshed. Here are the best spas in Berlin to heal after a bender or the upcoming Berlin winter.
Grand Hyatt Potsdamer Platz
Potsdamer Platz is all for business and tourists, but above the fray is the Olympus Club at the Grand Hyatt. It is an oasis of modern luxury in the center of the city.
The heated pool is flanked by panoramic views of the Berlin skyline, and a rooftop terrace allows visitors to enjoy the sun in warmer months. Head back inside to reap the health benefits of a Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath, beauty treatments, gym and solarium.
