Overview

The Ritz-Carlton Berlin is a five-star hotel located on Potsdamer Platz in the heart of Berlin and is a part of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. As soon as you step foot in the hotel, you feel the classic Ritz air and are immersed in the aristocratic ambience.

Even the most modest rooms have space for an extra bed or cot. It's ideal for families with young children, all suites have fully equipped kitchenettes. Some suites even have real fireplaces, as if they were right out of a Grimm or Andersen fairy tale. Bathrooms are as spacious as the living areas and include baby equipment for the little ones. Wi-Fi is available in all areas and is free of charge.

Children are always welcome at the Ritz-Carlton Berlin, and it's evident not only from the welcome cocktails on arrival, but also from the toys for young guests, the choice of pillows and other little touches. Where else can they race down the corridors in pedal cars or go on a treasure hunt right in the hotel?

In the best Ritz-Carlton tradition, not only are the accommodations comfortable, but the food is delicious too. Have a breakfast at Brasserie Desbrosses to know what a 5-star hotel buffet should look like. At any time of the year you will find freshly squeezed juices, a huge selection of cold meats and hot dishes, five types of omelette cooked in front of you and a sea of fresh fruit, including real exotics.

The location of the hotel is ideal for travellers with young children and parents with teenagers. For the former, Legoland Discovery Centre is a five-minute walk away and Berlin's largest park, Tiergarten, is just around the corner.

Older children will get a glimpse of recent history, as Potsdamer Platz was not so long ago the site of the wall that divided Berlin in two.The famous Checkpoint Charlie, the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate are all within a 10-15 minute walk of the hotel. Other attractions such as the Berlin Zoo and Museum Island are easily reached by underground or taxi.

Food and Drink

Guests dine at the Brasserie Desbrosses, a French restaurant that lives up to the legendary Ritz-Carlton name. A buffet breakfast is served here from half past seven in the morning, which can be paid for or included with the room reservation.

The morning menu is as sumptuous as the interiors — the cheese platter alone boasts no fewer than 15 varieties, and the fresh fruit includes local seasonal varieties as well as rare exotics. Some dishes, such as omelettes, scrambled eggs and pancakes, are prepared in front of the guests. At lunchtime the restaurant serves à la carte and on Sundays one of the best brunches in Berlin is served.

From 2pm, the Tea Lounge is open for a quick bite or a cocktail. But the main course here is the traditional English five o'clock tea. And it is served separately for ladies and gentlemen. You can also order a special children's tea.

Of the two cocktail bars at the Ritz-Carlton Berlin, Fragrances deserves special mention. It's probably the only place in Berlin, if not Europe, where your cocktail is made according to your perfume preferences. This ingenious approach is sure to impress teenage guests.

Suite guests can prepare their own meals in the in-room kitchen. For a home-cooked meal or an early breakfast in bed, guests can easily shop in the many shops around Potsdamer Platz.

If you don't feel like eating in the hotel and don't want to sit in front of the stove, there are plenty of options in the surrounding area. From affordable fast-food chains and coffee shops such as Starbucks to high-end restaurants such as Brasserie Desbrosses, you'll find it all within walking distance of the hotel.

  • Brasserie Desbrosses restaurant — French cuisine (06:30 - 23:00), Sunday ( 06:30 - 15:30, 18:00 - 23:00)
