A brand new apartment hotel has just been opened in Berlin by the award-winning Medina Apartment Hotel group.

Located in the stylish Mitte neighbourhood, Adina Berlin has 127 modern apartments behind a heritage facade.

Australian designer Andrew Parr of SJB Design has given the hotel a uniquely feel by featuring indigenous Australian artworks from the Tiwi Islands and other parts of Australia's Northern Territory.

The apartments offer the comforts of a home away from home, including fully equipped kitchens, flatscreen TVs, stereos and broadband.

Facilities include a restaurant, gym, in-room dining, secure parking and same-day laundry and dry cleaning.

The Mitte district is in Berlin's historical city centre, which is filled with both 18th and 19th century apartment blocks and contemporary architecture.

Artists and designers in post-reunification Berlin flocked to this neighbourhood, giving it a very trendy atmosphere.

It is also within easy walking distance of classic Berlin sights like Checkpoint Charlie.

Adina also has apartment hotels in Copenhagen and Budapest.
