Opened in 1907, the Hotel Adlon was once dubbed "the world's most luxurious hotel".  Germany's noble families flocked to spend cold winters in the hotel's warmth, which was far ahead of its time having electricity as well as hot and cold running water!

Today, the hotel has lost none of its appeal and is as luxurious as ever.  What visitors may not realise however, is this is not the original Hotel Adlon.

Following a stint as a military hospital during the war years, the original hotel was closed during the 1970s, and in 1984 was torn down to make way for more modern buildings.  When Germany was reunified however, a new hotel was built on the original site and once again, the Hotel Adlon took its place as one of Berlin's  premier hotels.
