Most of the rooms have a balcony and those that do not have a lovely winter garden or glass conservatory, which can be used for most of the year (March-October).

You must definitely visit this superb marvelous five-star Mandala Hotel in Germany. Many boutique hotels offer you a glorified cupboard with low-watt lights, and tell you to get on with the fantastic feeling — never mind if you can’t find the light switch or figure out how to flush the lavatory. This is different: comfortable and uncomplicated, with intelligent, rather than intimidating, design. When you visit the airy restaurant, Facil - complete with glass ceiling, outdoor terrace and bamboo forest - you start to marvel if all the spaciousness is an optical illusion. So encouraging are the interiors that Facil and the hip Qiu lounge have become destinations in their own right for design-literate Berlin socialites. Design, lighting and aesthetics in the privately booked Mandala Hotel at Potsdamer Platz provide one the feeling of coming home. Life can be enjoyed here to the full with a terrific atmosphere and first-class service – just in the middle of Berlin. ]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 05:58:27 -0500 http://www.luxuryhotelsworld.com/the-mandala-hotel/ http://www.luxuryhotelsworld.com/bauer-il-palazzo/ Bauer Il Palazzo is a five star hotel, which is located in the heart of Venice in Italy, two minutes walking distance from St Mark's Square.
