First time to Germany - first time to Berlin! Amazing city (weather can be a bit annoying - it rained every day).
The Adlon must be the most amazing hotel in the world - I think at least that it is. A wonderful combination of charm, first class service, location, gret food and everything else one can hope for. The concierge team was more than helpful and patiently directed us to see Berlin's most amazing parts.
The room (507 I believe) was large, very nicely furnished with every amenity under the sky.
Loved every minute. 3 days are not enough for the city and we will be back.

This is a pretty intersting place.

Great views -- right outside of the hotel is the Brandenburg Gate (and a Starbucks across the street -- old meet new!) The rooms are pretty comfortable and the beds are decent. The wireless connections are speedy (although expensive). If you're a vegetarian, you won't find anything to eat at the hotel, but there is quite a bit in walking distance. (We took a Hop On, Hop Off tour where the bus picked us up on the other side of the gate.) The gym is small, but has decent machines and free weights (and free bottles of water.)

We ran a business event at the hotel, and everything went very smoothly. Great service.

The Adlon is an interesting Kempinski property. The hotel is a total replica from the original which succumbed to bombs and fire and neglect during and after WW2. The building was completely rebuilt in 1997 after reunification as a perfect replica of the original. They even copied some of the poor room designs.

Overall its a great hotel with excellent service and staff, beautiful facilities and the location is central [just steps away from The Brandenburg Gate, at the head of the Tiergarten and 1 KM from Potsdam Platz.]

My gripes are little - the lights for the WC/Bathroom are in strange locations - outside the door. The room controls in in the night stand - which, unless you get the full "room" tour from your bellhop, you spend about 20 minutes looking for them.

The wireless was fast, only a few English channels (CNN and BBC), laundry was done the same day. Fitness center was decent. Ate in the hotel restaurant - service was slow, but food was good.

We had a 2-day business meeting in the hotel and the facilities were perfect. Hosted a cocktail reception in the Library which had a wonderful view of the Gate, and dinner was exceptional.

I had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Adlon while attending a conference in Berlin.

First, the room was perfect with a walk-in closet, toilet located in a separate room off the main entry, a large bathroom with all the ammenities (dual vanity, sound system, marble, separate shower and bathtub, etc), very well decorated and beautiful woodwork/design. You could probably enjoy your entire stay without ever leaving the room.

Breakfast was perfect with a large and generous selection from the buffet or off the menu for cooked items.

The hotel is located just steps from Brandenburg Gate and is on Unter den Linden, so you are right in the heart of everything. Beautiful historic buildings, architecture, embassy's and scenery abound. The hotel is also just a few blocks away from a Bentley and Ferrari dealership.....just in case you get the urge.

The large lounge area in the lobby was a nice place to relax and enjoy a drink with the piano playing in the background and service was exemplary everywhere throughout my stay.

Parking is located under the hotel and at 25 Euro per day seemed reasonable for the security and location.

All in all....expensive.....but an absolutely wonderful experience. I wouldn't expect it any other way.
