Hotel Palace Berlin
Europa-Center, Budapesterstr. 45, Berlin, Berlin, 10787, Germany, Berlin, GermanyWhy We Like It
If you’re a business traveler, this hotel ticks all the boxes: spacious rooms with large desks, a business center, plenty of meeting space, and a Club Floor with its own concierge. But leisure travelers will appreciate its great West Berlin location, just a stone’s throw from the Ku’damm shopping boulevard, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and the Berlin Zoo.
Fodor's Expert Review
This is one of the only non-chain five-star hotels in the heart of West Berlin, and although it may not look like much from the outside, inside, the friendly staff and spacious rooms make it a popular choice, especially among business travelers. The exercise room has state-of-the-art equipment and natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that look onto the city's skyline. The extensive spa includes a pool, ice grotto and Finnish sauna. The property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
