Local before arrival
Occupying a unique spot on Pariser Platz with a view of the Brandenburg Gate, this grand hotel is inseparably tied to 20th-century German history. Its reopening in 1997 was as grand as a state ceremony: The new Adlon was able to seamlessly build on its glamorous past. Royalty and Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie grace the impressive guest list. Berliners love the magnificent lobby, and it’s no uncommon occurrence to find them meeting for afternoon tea at “their” Adlon.
