Personalities prefer personal hotels. The Hotel Palace Berlin is one of the leading 5-star hotels in the German capital and has an excellent reputation as Berlin’s private gourmet hotel. Located in the centre of the city between the Memorial Church, Kurfürstendamm and the KaDeWe department store, and just a few minutes from Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, this luxury hotel provides its guests with outstanding service of unique quality and to high security standards. The Hotel Place Berlin has 282 rooms and suites, furnished and equipped with everything today’s traveller needs. The Presidential Suite is located on a floor where special security is in place. The Palace SPA is entirely devoted to relaxation with its 800 square metre health and beauty area with a swimming pool, a whirlpool, ice-grotto, three saunas, massage facilities, ayurveda, a solarium and a fitness area with personal trainer and a morning run through the Tiergarten. Our events section has 18 rooms with a total area of 2,400 square metres including a ballroom with a ceiling of over five metres high. All rooms have state-of-the-art technology and daylight. The Gourmet Catering by Hotel Palace Berlin team has many years of experience in providing catering for events of all kinds at outside locations – everything from a small family celebration to an event for 1,500 guests. We will put together a detailed event plan on request.

Breakfast 2007: € 24 per person per day. Breakfast 2008: € 26 per person per day. Since its opening in 1993, the restaurant at the Hotel Palace has made an excellent name for itself, receiving its first Michelin Star in 1997. The First Floor, which owes its name to its location, has seating for 40 gourmets. The ambience consists of varnished rosewood, panelled walls, decorative ceiling lighting, as well as upholstery in bright blue, combined with a warm shade of gold. The carpets from Thailand are hand-woven. The bar, which forms a harmonious part of the room, is a perfect place to meet before dining. The restaurant's Fromagair has a selection of 50 different sorts of cheese mainly from the house of Maitre Jerk Riese. A Chambrair guarantees well-tempered wines, recommended by sommelier Gunnar Tietz. A very special feature is the collection of 17 continuous vintages of Mouton Rothschild Imperial (bottled from 6-litre casks) with a value of € 30,000.00, exhibited in a specially designed Caveau. The First Floor chef de cuisine, Matthias Buchholz, is a master in creative, aromatic cuisine. Not that this precludes classics such as Brittany lobster or caviar. The highly motivated team headed by maitre Uwe Lein guarantees expert advice as well as perfect table service. An average a la carte menu will cost € 60. Reservations are necessary. One highlight of the gourmet restaurant: it is directly linked to five elegant conference rooms, for up to 60 people, with such names as Salon Petrus and Cheval Blanc. The foyer provides an attractive view of the caveau red-wine, containing over 1200 different vintages. Small snacks and tea time is served in the Lounge Bar with live piano music. In the evening guests can choose from a wide cocktail selection or from 44 sorts of whiskey. Breakfast is served in the restaurant Bon Dia with a view to the zoo.

The Hotel Palace is ideally located in the city centre, in the immediate vicinity of the Memorial Church and the KaDeWe shopping paradise.

Tegel Airport (flight schedule) is only a twenty-minute drive away. The Zoo railway station served by ICE trains can be reached on foot in a matter of minutes.
