“The grande dame of Berlin hotels, rebuilt on its old site opposite the Brandenburg Gate. Capable of welcoming a head of state, holding a society wedding reception or a car launch with equal aplomb, it will look stuffy to some, a bit like Harrods (with signs prohibiting photography) to others. But the service is perfect, the rooms are large and luxurious, and the buffet breakfast - a bargain at E34 - is legendary. It was from the balcony of one of the rooms that Michael Jackson precariously dangled his baby in 2002.”
