It is odd, because Berlin, apparently, attracts the highest number of tourists in Europe, but nobody wants to pay top dollar.

Trying to run a high-end hotel, such as a Four Seasons, is virtually impossible. The only city that could work, right now, would be Munich, where room rates are much higher.
Thanks for the feedback. It is odd that Berlin has such low rates for the reason you mention (tourism), plus it's the capital of Germany, and has vibrant start-up tech scene (perhaps the best in Europe).

Frankfurt wouldn't work outside of Munich?
