Waldorf Astoria Berlin Celebrates Grand Opening

The Waldorf Astoria Berlin has celebrated its grand opening.

Featuring 232 guestrooms and suites, the hotel sits within the new Zoofenster skyscraper, designed by renowned German architect, Professor Christoph Mäckler.

The hotel’s interior design has been conceived by the renowned Parisian agency, Inter Art Etudes, in a timeless yet contemporary interpretation of art deco style.

The hotel’s enviable location puts guests on the doorstep of some of the city’s most famous tourist attractions. This includes the historic church, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, built as a memorial to Kaiser Wilhelm I, the first man to become emperor of a united Germany. The glamour of the premium shopping boulevard, Kurfürstendamm, known to locals as Germany’s Champs Elysées is only minutes away and contains a plethora of designer fashion houses.

Waldorf Astoria Berlin boasts an impressive range of dining and drinking experiences in a variety of settings and styles. The outstanding attraction is the restaurant run by world-renowned French chef, Pierre Gagnaire. Boasting 12 Michelin stars at restaurants across the globe, Gagnaire requires little introduction and tables at the opulent “Les Solistes by Pierre Gagnaire” are sure to be amongst the most highly sought after of the Berlin restaurant scene.

In addition, the Romanisches Café – renowned as a legendary meeting place for literati, local artists and musicians – has reopened on the ground floor of the hotel, just a stones throw from where it was first located around 100 years ago.

The New York-styled Lang Bar offers upmarket ambiance in which to enjoy a range of cocktails and artisan beers. Whilst in the shadow of the famous Waldorf Astoria grandfather clock, Peacock Alley provides signature afternoon teas in a stylish, yet relaxed, environment.

Providing further opportunity for indulgence is the hotel’s spa, featuring acclaimed French beauty specialists, Guerlain. With a tradition of excellence in the field of wellness and beauty which can be traced back almost 200 years, the Guerlain Spa Waldorf Astoria sees the trendsetting brand bring its innovative range of treatments to Germany for the very first time.

Guerlain Spa Waldorf Astoria offers eight therapy rooms amid a spacious 1,000 square metre spa area, each individually designed to complement the delivery of a variety of treatments.

Guerlain has also developed the “Beauty Revelation” a signature treatment which is exclusive to Waldorf Astoria Berlin, combining rejuvenating body and facial treatments to invigorate the senses and leave guests with a sensation of freshness in both body and mind.

The hotel also has extensive meeting and event facilities.
