The Westin Grand Berlin  

In the historical centre of Berlin on Friedrichstrasse — steps from Komische Oper, Galeries Lafayette and the Unter den Linden boulevard. This pet-friendly spa hotel puts you minutes from cultural landmarks like the Berlin State Opera, Humboldt University and Berliner Dom.

Timeless Beaux-Arts architecture with modern comforts inside. There are about 400 guestrooms with LED TVs, minibars, A/C, bathrobes and slippers, plus laptop-compatible safes and desks for easy work or play.

Pamper yourself in the full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or take a dip in the pool and sweat it out in the sauna (available for an extra charge). A 24-hour fitness centre, bicycles to rent, hair salon, concierge and 24-hour reception keep things effortless — and you can grab a boulevard-side stroll the moment you step outside.

Event-ready with 9,225 sq ft (857 m²) of function space and around 10 meeting rooms, plus a 24-hour business centre, express check-out and dry cleaning. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet keeps meetings and email moving.

Three on-site outlets serve contemporary and international cuisine — including a dedicated restaurant and a lobby lounge/bar for drinks. Buffet breakfast is offered on weekdays 6:30–10:30 and weekends 7:00–11:00 (for a fee).
