Occupying a prime position overlooking Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate, Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin stands as one of Europe’s most storied and prestigious addresses.

Berlin in the 1920s was one of the most creatively charged cities in Europe, a capital of effervescent social energy at the cutting edge of expressionist cinema. The Ritz-Carlton Berlin distils the glamour of this golden era throughout its 303 rooms and suites, cinematic themed bar, destination restaurant POTS and 400 sqm wellness area complete with indoor pool. And each evening at 6 pm, as day turns to night, head to the lounge for a complimentary glass of champagne served in a coupe glass, what could be more fitting.

Few hotel brands have shaped luxury hospitality quite like Waldorf Astoria, a name synonymous with luxury for over a century, and one so pioneering in its approach that the original Waldorf Astoria in New York developed many guest experiences that in today’s world are now taken as standard.
