What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The Adlon’s central location is ideal, overlooking the Brandenburg Gate and Pariser Platz, within easy reach of the Reichstag and Potsdamer Platz.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Standing at the head of Unter den Linden, the hotel overlooks Pariser Platz, minutes on foot from the Reichstag and leafy Tiergarten.
The rooms
Finished in cherry wood, silks, and marquetry, soundproofed rooms open onto quiet courtyards or direct views of the Brandenburg Gate.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated subterranean swimming pool sits beneath soft lighting, flanked by white pillars and cushioned loungers.
Sauna and hammam
Glass-fronted Finnish saunas and marble steam cabins sit alongside experience showers and private wellness suites.
The spa
Set across three subterranean levels, the spa has private treatment suites, massage rooms, and a fireside relaxation lounge.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer serves Michelin-starred tasting menus, and Brasserie Quarré looks out over the Brandenburg Gate.
the hotel is the last word in stately—if somewhat conservative—luxury, as heralded by its glamorous, balconied lobby, which greets guests with the sounds of live piano and a trickling fountain.
How it began
First opened in 1907 under imperial patronage, the historic landmark was destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt on Pariser Platz in 1997.
