Berlin Mövenpick-ed by the NY Times

This weekend, the New York Times recommends Mövenpick Hotel Berlin as a choice pick for "hipsters on a budget." While we don't know anyone who actually likes to be identified as a hipster these days, we do know that the Times seems to have uncovered something worth looking into.
Despite its penchant for trendy guests, the author notes that the hotel isn't in the coolest part of town. No matter, because S-Bahn and U-Bahn stops are just blocks away and Potsdamer Platz and Tiergarten Park are within walking distance. Rooms are chic and comfortable and come equipped with TVs, on-demand video and wireless. The Times bottom line: "What you give up in location, you gain in affordability, with rooms starting at about 100 euros a night."
Even if you can't stay the night, the paper says it's worth stopping by to check out Mövenpick's "space-agey" Anhalter Bar, which attracts a late-night loving younger crowd--hipsters, you might say.
