More than 300 works by German painter Georg Baselitz turn this 1997 hotel on the Spree into a live-in gallery, down to the Upside Down Bar named for his inverted paintings. Its older wing began life in 1567 as a merchant's mansion named for tobacco and cloth trader Wilhelm Ferdinand Ermeler, before East German planners dismantled and reassembled the building on this Spree-side plot during 1960s reconstruction.

History
art'otel Berlin Mitte opened in 1997 on the banks of the Spree in Berlin's central Mitte district. The property is an art-led design hotel whose signature artist is Georg Baselitz; more than 300 of his works are integrated throughout the building, making the hotel effectively a live-in gallery.
The hotel incorporates the Ermelerhaus, a rococo mansion whose origins trace to 1567 on Breite Straße and which is named after the tobacco and cloth merchant Wilhelm Ferdinand Ermeler, who acquired it in the 1820s. During East German reconstruction in the 1960s the mansion's ornate facade and interiors were moved and rebuilt at the current riverside location, where it now forms the hotel's historic wing.
The contemporary hotel wing was renovated in 2016 by the studio Scott Brownrigg, and the property today operates under the art'otel brand powered by Radisson Hotel Group, with 109 rooms including 14 suites.
