Hotels with a Bar Near Berlin Hauptbahnhof
Berlin Hauptbahnhof, the glass-roofed station on the Spree that opened in 2006, links ICE trains from Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt with the east-west S-Bahn and the U5 to Unter den Linden and Alexanderplatz. Every hotel on this page has a bar. IntercityHotel Berlin Central Station and MEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station sit a short walk from the platforms, while most others, such as The Westin Grand Berlin, Meliá Berlin and Hotel NH Collection Berlin Mitte am Checkpoint Charlie, are in Mitte, a few S-Bahn or U-Bahn stops away. The Reichstag and the Chancellery are a walk south across the river.
Berlin wears its history openly: the Reichstag's glass dome above the Spree, the Brandenburg Gate at the edge of the Tiergarten and the former border crossing at Checkpoint Charlie are all within a few kilometres of the Hauptbahnhof. The city's bar culture is relaxed and late, from hotel lounges in Mitte to the cocktail bars and Kneipen of Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg.
Bars by the Station and Across Mitte
A hotel bar is a practical end to a rail day in Berlin, where ICE and night trains often arrive late at the Hauptbahnhof. Close to the station, a bar saves a search with luggage; in Mitte, it is the last stop after an evening on Friedrichstraße, at Gendarmenmarkt or around Checkpoint Charlie. The U5 and the S-Bahn from the Hauptbahnhof make switching between the two easy.
IntercityHotel Berlin Central Station is the most practical choice for rail travellers: a contemporary hotel a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof, rated 8.4 from 5,020 reviews, with stylish air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant and a bar. MEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station, the most reviewed stay here with 7,106 reviews, mixes private and dorm-style rooms with a polished bar and convenient access to the station, though its 7.2 score reflects a simpler stay. Both accept pets and offer parking. From either, the government quarter, the Reichstag and the Spree riverbanks are a short walk away across the Humboldthafen basin.
In Mitte, The Westin Grand Berlin is the best-rated hotel on this page at 9.0 from 4,347 reviews, with elegant rooms, a polished French-Asian restaurant, a bar and a spa. Meliá Berlin, rated 8.8, has a sophisticated tapas bar and a gym with a sauna within walking distance of Friedrichstraße, and Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin, rated 8.6, adds a tapas bar, a stylish bar, a spa and an indoor pool. These hotels suit an evening of theatre or dinner in Mitte, with the U5 from the Hauptbahnhof to Unter den Linden or the S-Bahn to Friedrichstraße bringing you back to the trains within minutes.
If you want a bar with a pool or spa after a long journey, several hotels combine both. Titanic Chausse Berlin, rated 8.8, pairs an art deco bar and an Italian restaurant with a spa and an indoor pool. Hilton Berlin, rated 8.6, offers regional dining, Berlin-style street food, a pool and a spa. Hotel NH Collection Berlin Mitte am Checkpoint Charlie, also rated 8.8, has a spa with a rooftop relaxation area, terrace dining and a bar. I would choose the NH Collection for its rooftop spa if I had a day of museums ahead and a late train behind me.
Leonardo Hotel Berlin Mitte, rated 8.6, has a chic bar and stylish rooms, some with balconies, with easy access to public transport. Hotel MOA Berlin, rated 8.8, is a modern four-star with a restaurant, a bar and extensive meeting facilities, suited to business trips. Around the Hauptbahnhof itself, the new Europacity quarter and the Spree promenade are good for an evening walk, and the FEX airport express runs from the station to BER Airport. I recommend checking how far each Mitte hotel is from your departure station before booking, as only two of these hotels sit beside the Hauptbahnhof.
A traveler's perspectiveAfter a late ICE into Berlin, I would choose IntercityHotel Berlin Central Station, rated 8.4, for its bar and the short walk from the platforms. For a longer stay, I recommend The Westin Grand Berlin, rated 9.0, for its bar, spa and French-Asian restaurant in Mitte, a few S-Bahn or U-Bahn stops from the Hauptbahnhof and the Reichstag.

3.6Guest scoreBarMEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station
Hostel-hotel on Ella-Trebe-Straße, about 150 metres from Berlin Hauptbahnhof's Washingtonplatz side
View hotel →Why guests love itFor a family changing trains in Berlin, the MEININGER solves the logistics rather than offering comfort. The station is about 150 metres away, two lifts serve all nine floors, and the four-bed rooms use bunk beds, so children sleep in the same room without an extra bed. Note that the four-bed dorms are adults-only (18 and over): with children you book a private triple or four-bed room. The guest kitchen helps when a delayed train arrives after restaurants close, and pets can stay in private rooms for a supplement. Across 7,106 reviews the average is 7.2, a modest score that reflects small, functional rooms. It suits a single night between connections; families planning several days of sightseeing will want more space elsewhere.
