We found ourselves in Berlin for a weekend with friends and chose to stay at The Am Steinplatz Hotel, Autograph Collection, a 5-star hotel owned by the Marriott group.

The Art Nouveau style of the building is surprising; you don’t expect to walk through the doors of a hotel. The furnishings are very luxurious, and the walls are full of history. For example, the Hotel Am Steinplatz has hosted Russian czars, intellectuals, and the biggest movie stars in the past.

I must say that I liked the decoration of this hotel: lights, desks, chairs … everything was comfortable, sober and chic.

Location

The hotel is located 29 minutes by cab from Berlin airport, in the western part of the city in the chic Charlottenburg district.

Not far from there, you will find the Berlin Zoo, a concert hall and opera house, a museum, a theater and a few streets away from the stores. A few restaurants and cafes are also within walking distance.

We visited the city of Berlin by scooter and on foot. We had a private guide for an afternoon to discover the secret streets of the city.

Hotel reception

Once in the hotel, we arrive in a small long hall with open access to the reception room and, on the other side, the Bar am Steinplatz. Touches of red, beige and black set the tone.

Photos of movie stars adorn the walls on both sides and a cozy fireplace that will warm us up in this autumn weather with two inviting armchairs.

Bedroom

Before arriving in our room, we will cross a corridor leading us in front of the elevators and a small library lounge. At the same time, we discover a peaceful and beautiful central garden where it is possible to eat in good weather.

The corridors are well soundproofed. Once in our room, the black, beige and white touches are everywhere with chrome details. The bed seems very comfortable while a nice desk makes you want to move in.

Everything is there for coffee service; safe, ironing board, etc. No forgetting either.

The room is not very large; the bed is central with a bedside table on each side. A beautiful leather armchair sat next to it.

I finally appreciated that the room could overlook the hotel’s interior garden and the window could be opened. We were on the 4th floor.

The bathroom was not very big. We did not have an upgrade, unlike our friends, who had a bathtub.

Our bathroom was composed in its center of a countertop with a basin. A lighted mirror and a magnifying mirror completed the set.

On the right, the shower door and on the left, the toilet door.

Apply with confidence — no impact on your credit scoreApply with confidenceCheck whether your application will be approved before you submit it, with no impact on your credit score*When you apply for a personal American Express Credit Card, we will tell you whether you are eligible without affecting your credit score. So you can apply with confidence.*Instant decisions are only available for consumer Card applications (also called “personal Cards”).

The Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card is the best credit card in Canada for free hotel nights.

New Cardmembers can earn up to 110,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points with the current offer:

  • Earn 80,000 points after you spend $6,000 on your Card in your first 6 months of Cardmembership.
  • Plus, earn 30,000 points by making a purchase during your 15th month of Cardmembership.

This offer ends on September 22, 2026. The annual fee is $120, and there is no annual fee on Additional Cards, so you can add a partner or a family member at no extra cost.

Every year after your first Card anniversary, you receive an Annual Free Night Award good for a redemption of up to 35,000 points at eligible hotels and resorts worldwide. At a valuation of 0.9 cents per Marriott Bonvoy point, that certificate is worth roughly $315, which on its own more than covers the $120 annual fee. That is the main reason to keep this Card year after year instead of cancelling it.

To get the most out of the certificate, aim it at a night that would otherwise price close to the 35,000 point ceiling.

The Card also gives you 15 Elite Night Credits each calendar year and automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status. Those credits count toward the next Elite tier, so you begin every year 15 nights ahead of where you would otherwise start.

You move up to Gold Elite status automatically when you reach $30,000 in purchases on the Card in a year, or when you combine 10 qualifying paid nights within one calendar year with the 15 Elite Night Credits from your Card.

Marriott Bonvoy points are generally valued at 0.9 cents each. On that basis, the 110,000 point welcome offer is worth about $990, and an Annual Free Night Award used at its full 35,000 point ceiling is worth about $315.

Marriott Bonvoy points pull their weight on free nights rather than on gift cards or merchandise, which is why this Card should be judged on the hotel stays it produces.

You earn 5 points per dollar on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels and 2 points per dollar on all other purchases. Points can be redeemed for free nights with no blackout dates at more than 7,000 hotels around the world.

The Card carries a solid package of coverages: $500,000 travel accident insurance, flight delay, baggage delay, lost or stolen baggage and hotel or motel burglary at $500 each, car rental theft and damage up to $85,000 for rentals of up to 48 days, Purchase Protection for 90 days and a one year Extended Warranty.

Two things to plan around: the 2.5% foreign transaction fee on purchases made in a foreign currency, and the 21.99% purchase interest rate, which makes this a Card to pay in full every month. Like all American Express Canada Cards, no minimum income is published for this Card, and you can see whether you would be approved before you apply, with no impact on your credit score.

My general impression of the hotel

As you can see, I enjoyed staying at the hotel am Steinplatz. The service was friendly and professional. The place was quiet and relaxing and in an equally pleasant neighbourhood. A very suitable setting for a stay as a couple or with friends.
