Hotel Adlon Kempinski: greetings from the front desk
No house is as interwoven with Berlin as the Adlon. Opened in 1907 by Lorenz Adlon, it was the meeting place of state guests, artists and industrialists; after war and division it was rebuilt in 1997 on the historic site — on the Pariser Platz, within sight of the Brandenburg Gate and a stone's throw from Unter den Linden. Behind the classic façade the Adlon Kempinski combines great hotel tradition with one of the most elegant city spas of the capital.
A location without equal in Berlin. The Pariser Platz is the address: Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Unter den Linden, the Museum Island — all within walking distance. Whoever wants to combine a wellness break with the densest cultural and representative space in Germany lives right in the middle here and yet steps into a quiet, shielded world as soon as the door closes.
Adlon Spa by Resense. The spa runs over three levels through the basement of the house — an around 800 m² pool and sauna area with a heated swimming pool, a whirlpool, saunas and steam baths, plus numerous treatment rooms, spa suites, a yoga room and a hairdresser. It is run by Resense, an operator specialised in hotel spas — city wellness at the level the address leads you to expect.
Adlon Spa by Resense — over three floors
The Adlon Spa extends over three levels and belongs to the largest hotel spas in the heart of Berlin. Its core is an around 800 m² pool and sauna area with a heated indoor pool, a whirlpool, saunas and steam baths; add treatment rooms, private spa suites for couples, a yoga room and a hair salon. The area is operated by Resense, a provider specialised in upmarket hotel spas — the treatments reach from massages via facial and body treatments to spa rituals lasting several hours.
Rooms and suites
The rooms and suites are kept in the classically elegant Adlon style; the most sought-after look over the Pariser Platz onto the Brandenburg Gate. From the deluxe room to the generous suites runs a restrained, warm design that has always shaped the house — representation without loudness.
Cuisine in the house
The peak of the house kitchen is the gourmet restaurant Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer with a view of the Brandenburg Gate; beside it stand a brasserie restaurant, the Lobby Lounge with the famous Adlon tea culture and a bar. At the Adlon cuisine is part of the self-image — from breakfast to the late cocktail.
Location on the Pariser Platz
The Adlon stands at Pariser Platz 2, immediately at the Brandenburg Gate. The Reichstag, the Holocaust Memorial, Unter den Linden and the Museum Island lie within walking distance; the S- and U-Bahn station Brandenburger Tor is around the corner, the main station a few minutes away. A city-wellness address from which you open up Berlin on foot.

Add numerous treatment rooms, private spa suites for couples, a yoga room and a hair salon. The treatment menu reaches from massages via facial and body treatments to spa rituals lasting several hours.
What does “by Resense” mean?
Resense is an operator specialised in upmarket hotel spas that runs the wellness area of the Adlon. For guests that means: a consistent, professionally curated spa concept with a treatment line of its own instead of a merely attached pool.
How central is the Adlon?
As central as hardly any other hotel in Berlin: directly on the Pariser Platz, immediately at the Brandenburg Gate. The Reichstag, Unter den Linden, the Holocaust Memorial and the Museum Island are within walking distance, and the S- and U-Bahn station Brandenburger Tor lies around the corner.
Since when has the Adlon existed?
The original Hotel Adlon opened in 1907 and was for decades one of the most famous houses in Europe. After the destruction and division of the city it was rebuilt in 1997 on the historic site on the Pariser Platz and has continued the tradition since as the Hotel Adlon Kempinski.
Is the Adlon suited to a wellness city break?
Very well — precisely because it combines both: a large, quiet city spa and the densest cultural and sightseeing location in Berlin directly at the door. You spend the morning in the museum, the afternoon in the pool and the evening in the gourmet restaurant without taking a taxi.
