The Aspria Hotel in Berlin looks pretty nice and its rather more affordable, too. Opening next month on 6 November in the posh Charlottenburg district (west of the Tiergarten), it doesnt have the most auspicious of pedigrees Aspria is a chain of health clubs in Europe - but theyre now offering accommodation at their digs in Hannover and Berlin.
