The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Berlin, Potsdamer Platz 3, 10785 Berlin / Germany.
Once a symbol of Cold War division, Berlin today is a link between Western and Eastern Europe. The Berlin-Brandenburg capital region lies at the very heart of an expanding European Union and offers many new and exciting opportunities for the future. In the united Europe of the near feature Berlin will be situated at the centre rather than on the outskirts. Berlin has at its disposal experiences both from the West as well as from the East. Berlin is becoming the juncture between East and West, the starting and ending point of both sides - it is becoming the East-West Metropolis.
Berlin is rich in signs of its history and its present, in inner city landscapes and urban closeness, in big city life, and in peaceful places. Berlin's traditional strengths have been culture, education, and the sciences. It is a place of intellectual energy and debate. Berlin's cultural know-how has been a constant part of its development.
The Potsdamer Platz (Potsdam Square), with Sony Centre, Daimler AG and Bahntower, is an important public square and traffic junctiion in the centre of Berlin, one kilometre south of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (German Parliament Building) and close to the southeast corner of the Tiergarten park.
When the five-star deluxe Hotel The Ritz-Carlton Berlin opened its doors on January 12, 2004, it has become immediately another impressive new landmark in Germany's capital city, and an important addition to Europe's most contemporary urban plaza, the Potsdamer Platz. Standing just a short distance from what was formerly a section of The Berlin Wall, with a strategic location adjacent to the Sony Centre and Leipziger Platz, the luxury hotel will epitomize the continued economic and cultural resurgence of Germany's capital city.
An integral part of "The Beisheim Centre Complex", designed as a contemporary interpretation of a European city with blocks, streets and squares, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Berlin is reminiscent of the golden age of art nouveau skyscrapers familiar in New York City and Chicago. Despite the inspiration of the golden age of art deco, the noted architectural firm of Hilmer and Sattler has created a design that is a fusion of modern trends. Even so, the architects also embrace a tribute to elements of classical European architecture. The sandstone exterior conveys both strength and light and will stand in contrast to the soaring glass and steel structures, which are already a Potsdamer Platz signature.
The 302 rooms inclusive of eight junior suites and 32 suites are designed in an elegant style inspired by Karl-Friedrich Schinkel, a famous Prussian architect and all accommodations offer latest comfort and luxury.
