Hotel Fürstenhof was a hotel facing both Leipziger Platz and Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. It was designed by architects Richard Bielenberg and Josef Moser and opened in 1907. On 22 November 1943 the hotel was destroyed during a raid on Berlin; the ruins were completely demolished in the 1950s.

The architecture had elements of Art Nouveau, the onset of Modernism and the neo-baroque. The interior of the building was elaborately decorated, including a fountain by Ludwig Mayer and carvings by Richard Kuhn.
