Hyatt & Marriott are not 5* properties. For sure :-). Although Park Hyatts are generally beautiful properties, they're still 4* and surely will be above 400eu. Thus, my request for 5* hotels in european capitals between 150-250 euros still stands.
BLV, I have stayed at the Marriott for less than 100 Euro, and the Hyatt for 150. Believe me, both are 5 star properties.
The Berlin Marriott hotel, part of the highly regarded Beisheim Center, is a five star property that not only impresses with its spectacular architecture, but also with its prestigious location: directly situated at Potsdamer Platz - the perfect location for a cosmopolitan value-oriented hotel which seeks to be both a meeting point for the people of Berlin as well as its visitors. This place is one of those destinations which impresses far beyond German borders and represents the 'old' and the 'new Berlin'. Here you will find the spirit of Berlin as well as the legendary 'Spirit to Serve' of Marriott International. The hotel is within walking distance of exclusive shopping areas, government offices and popular attractions such as the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Sony Center and Tiergarten as well as Germany's largest casino. * With 379 tastefully furnished guest rooms and suites, including an executive floor offering a private and exclusive atmosphere for business travelers, the Berlin Marriott reflects an ideal environment for any kind of business.
Both hotels are in Conde Nast's 2007 Gold List, as well as Trip Advisor's top 6 hotels in Berlin.

The #1 hotel (according to Trip Advisor) in Berlin is the Ritz, where I just priced a room in Jan for 195 Euro, so there
are rooms available in European capitals for less than 200 Euro/night.
