The surprisingly different 4-star plus hotel is located in the new centre of Berlin, next to the Potsdamer Platz. The hotel is prized with the Berlin real estate award 2005 because of the exceptionally innovative interior design and a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and materials combined with the historical flair of the Siemens Building. Because of the central location the hotel is the perfect vantage point for business and private travellers and with the direct bus-connection from the new central train station it's easy to reach the hotel within a few minutes. Numerous sights like the "Potsdamer Platz", the "Brandenburger Tor", the "Friedrichstraße", The "Reichstag", the "Checkpoint Charlie" are easy to reach, as well as the west of the city with the "Kudamm" and the "Gedächtniskirche".
