one hears that the "old" Adlon, unfortunately destroyed by bombs, was many times more beautiful ....
Unfortunately, I can't judge that, but when strolling through the Brandenburg Gate you can't miss the Adlon and since we've only been guests at the nearby Marriott at Potsdamer Platz, I felt like "Adlon". So I have children who are a little alive. And they had reservations: Papa, that's too boring for us, they said. It looks so dark.
Nevertheless, I was allowed to assert myself and we slept and had breakfast there one night.
So: (for adults) - impressively chic. Traditionally. Demanding, sophisticated. higher breakfast quality. For children this is rather nothing, because around us there were mostly people who thought they were significant and important. But that's what the Adlon speaks to. It would be nicer if there was a wide green area around the Adlon with trees, bushes and a small pond, then it would be even more attractive, so it would be free. So the location is central but not so nice. Still a hotel that discerning guests can gladly recommend. Addendum: oh yes, the staff: extremely polite and courteous, one shouldn't forget to mention that.
