My visit yesterday with a friend from Hamburg for afternoon tea was just embarrassing. Masses of people streamed through the lobby, the damp coats were lying around, no candles / flowers, tea in an elderly pot, tiered stand with sandwiches and sweets was okay, but at least about 90 for 2 people.
I expect a bit of style and elegance as well as a certain relaxed calm and not the atmosphere of a station waiting room.
Berlin has some very nice hotels where you can enjoy your tea time in a dignified and well-groomed manner, the Adlon is definitely not one of them.
