Where to actually take her in Berlin

Berlin is the only large German city where you can spread an evening across four districts without it becoming silly. Charlottenburg to start, Mitte when it gets later, Schöneberg when it should get honest. What you want to avoid along the way: the front desk that asks questions at midnight, and the bar where you have to shout at each other.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Berlin is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Berlin they are not always the same place.

• Kurfürstenstraße Schönebergstreet scene, not a venue · busy and loud after midnight
• Charlottenburg City Westresidential, private, nobody looks twice · quiet enough to talk · walkable to everything
• Mitte Zentrumwalkable to everything · tourist-priced, watch the bill
• Oranienburger Straße Mittestreet scene, not a venue · tourist-priced, watch the bill

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
