Neo-classic opulence
Centrally located in the heart of Berlin, the Hotel Adlon Kempinski is within a few steps of the Brandenburg Gate and the Pariser Platz. The Tiergarten nearby has plenty of footpaths, an aquarium and zoo in this extensive green forest . It is within easy walking distance of the Friedrichstrasse which is lined with shops and department stores.
This magnificent luxury hotel is listed on the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2008, over a hundred years after it was built. Lorenz Adlon, the founder of the hotel, had this stately mansion built at the suggestion of the Emperor, Wilhelm II and it was soon patronized by celebrities and political leaders from all over the world. Reopened in 1997 by Roman Herzog, it has dedicated itself to being the finest luxury hotel in Berlin.
Offering a stylish mix of tradition and modernity the Hotel Adlon Kempinski offers five star hotel accommodation in a very central location. From the magnificent arched lobby to the views overlooking Brandenburger Tor, comfort is foremost and the hotel is a pleasure to stay at. Each of the 304 spacious rooms and 78 luxury hotel suites is tastefully decorated and lavishly furnished in keeping with the standard of this exclusive establishment. There is a novel choice of aromatherapy products in the bathroom, which has both a shower and a soaking bathtub and is warmed by undertile heating – a big plus in the winter. The outstandingly efficient staff ensure every special request is met with a smile and every guest is treated personally. For those visiting on business there is a range of meeting rooms, salons and ballrooms suitable for hosting any event.
The hotel’s Lorenz Adlon restaurant is a Michelin-starred restaurant and serves exquisite French cuisine to please any discerning palate. The Quarré restaurant offers regional cuisine and the Italian restaurant ‘Gabriele’ offers less formal but equally fine fare. Even the breakfast buffet is of exceptional standard, although a little pricey if not included in the room rate. For those who want to repeat the gastronomic experience at home, Gourmet Cooking Classes are also offered.
Although not cheap, the Hotel Adlon Kempinski definitely gives excellent value for money. Exceptional staff, luxurious rooms coupled with an unrivalled location make this one of the top luxury hotels in Berlin.
