Kempinski Hotel Bristol

Frommer's Review

This hotel reigns as one of Berlin's most prestigious and visible hotels, enjoying a reputation equivalent to some of the best hotels in the world. But the emergence of such luxe Berlin-Mitte properties as Adlon and The Regent has shaken the Kempinski crown. It occupies a bulky, boxy-looking building that was originally erected during the peak of the Cold War, but with an interior that has benefited from ongoing improvements and renovations. The staff is superbly trained, and the shamelessly rich-looking decor is more opulent and better designed than that of many comparably priced competitors. Rooms contain high-quality reproductions of English and Continental antiques, enough insulation to retain an almost reverential hush, and spacious bathrooms with tub/shower combos. Overall, this is the most opulent hotel in what used to be defined as Berlin's western zone.
