Hotel Adlon
Thanks to its splendid Christmas markets, decorations and seasonal events, Berlin is one the most festive places in Europe to spend the holidays. Even the city’s Botanical Garden is decked out with lights and sculptures that are displayed from November to January. The elegant, five-star Hotel Adlon Kempinski, across from the Brandenburg Gate, is an ideal base for guests to relax after shopping, sightseeing and merry-making. Bring an appetite for your Christmas visit: The hotel’s holiday menus include such specialties as beef tartare, saddle of venison and blood orange sorbet.
