"To see and to be seen" Top 5 Page for this destination Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin Tip by matcrazy1

Excuse, I didn't sleep in this hotel, not for my budget, yet :-). But I can say that the renovated recently building was impressive and its main hall looked very stylish - a place to see, but perhaps more importantly, a place to be seen. I saw page-boys and bellhops dressed in the original red uniforms of the hotel. The full name of the hotel is Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin as it belongs to the Kempinski chain of luxary hotels.

Adlon was the most luxurious hotel of the Golden Twenties. It was open in 1907, closed in 1970 and re-opened in a new building (the old one was torn down in 1984) at the same place in 1997.

Unique Qualities: Great location next to the famous Branderburg Gate.
The most expensive hotel in Berlin and maybe in Germany. I just checked it online: double room starts at 280.00 €, but there is Adlon Executive Suite for 845.00 € as well.
