SO/ Berlin Das Stue

In Europe’s coolest city, the hipster bar is high – and Das Stue delivers, in the form of Viktor & Rolf uniforms, Patricia Urquiola seating, a tribe of leather animals and a three-storey library stocked with Taschen tomes. The heritage hotel in Berlin’s embassy district is also home to original parquet floors, restored wooden panels and a giant crocodile skull keeping watch over reception. Make haste to the terrace to shotgun the high-backed woven green armchair (slash throne).
