Serenity Rooftop

The Serenity Rooftop Bar is located on the sixth floor of the Waldorf Astoria Berlin and, with 550 square meters, is one of the largest bars with panoramic views and a rooftop terrace in City West. The view extends from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church across the Berlin skyline, and its southwest orientation provides sun until evening.

Serenity Rooftop at Waldorf Astoria: Rooftop Terrace with Panoramic Views over City West

The Serenity Rooftop is located on the sixth floor of the Waldorf Astoria Berlin on Hardenbergstrasse, just a few steps from Zoologischer Garten train station. The hotel is situated in the Zoofenster, a 118-meter-high tower with 32 floors, and the terrace sits on the base building below, high enough for extensive views yet close enough to the city to keep it well in sight. The view extends from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church over the rooftops of City West to the Berlin skyline. Because the area is south-west facing, it gets sun all day, and in the evening, you sit on the side where the sun sets. Surrounding it are Kurfürstendamm, Bikini Berlin, and the Zoological Garden, all reachable within a few minutes’ walk. With 550 square meters, the Serenity Rooftop is one of the most spacious rooftop terraces in the city. It is operated exclusively during the warmer months.

Lounge Furniture, Perrier-Jouët, and a Dedicated Menu at Serenity Rooftop

The terrace is furnished in a lounge style, with white seating arrangements, large parasols, and its own bar on the premises. Unlike many hotel terraces, the Serenity Rooftop has its own drinks menu, which differs from the hotel’s main offerings. Specials like Lychee Supernova, White Negroni, or Destination Serenity are listed alongside classics, spritz variations, and non-alcoholic drinks, plus Perrier-Jouët Brut by the glass. The rooftop terrace is not operated by the hotel itself, but by Stilian Laufer and Oliver Timm, who also run the Lang Bar in the same building and describe the atmosphere here as Mediterranean with a touch of Ibiza and New York. On weekends, a DJ plays. For New Year’s Eve, there is a special event where guests can watch the fireworks over the city from above. There is no strict dress code, smart casual is recommended. Reservations are possible for groups of six or more, and those who wish to book the entire space for a private celebration or corporate event can accommodate up to 200 guests.
