Hotel Adlon Kempinski - a photo on Flickriver

One of the around 800 hotels in Berlin - but the original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II. The current hotel opened in 1997 and is a new building with a design inspired by the original. It is situated on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central district, at the corner with Pariser Platz, directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate.

In 1905 Lorenz Adlon, a successful wine merchant and restaurateur, purchased two properties on Unter den Linden. The hotel was designed by Carl Gause and Robert Leibnitz. Behind a rather sober façade, the hotel was the most modern in Germany with hot and cold running water, an on-site laundry, as well as its own power plant to generate electricity. It boasted a huge lobby with enormous square marble columns, a restaurant, a cafe, a palm court, a ladies' lounge, a library, a music room, a smoking room, a barber shop, a cigar shop, an interior garden with a Japanese-themed elephant fountain, and numerous grand ballrooms.

The new Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin was designed by Rainer Michael Klotz and opened in 1997.
