Berlin is a city that never ceases to change and develop, combining history, culture, modern design and entertainment. Many streets and squares tell the tale of its unique, turbulent history. The city has over 170 museums packed with the world’s art treasures and fascinating historical exhibitions spanning the centuries. New creative centres arise continuously and many international designers are inspired by the dynamic and pluralistic lifestyle of the capital.
Berlin is entertainment – countless restaurants, nightclubs, musicals, vaudevilles, the Friedrichstadtpalast, Europe’s largest show theatre with its legendary high-step line of girls and breathtaking stage shows, plus many exciting smaller venues line the streets.
The city also increasingly grows in the international market and features many outstanding MICE venues. One is the Radisson Blu Hotel, a contemporary designed hotel in the historic city centre, between Alexanderplatz and Museum Island, with unique meeting and event facilities, stunning views of the capital.
The moment you enter the hotel your breath will be taken away by the amazing cylindrical aquarium – the AquaDom – that dominates the lobby. The largest of its kind in the world, it is home to a wide range of fish housed in one million litres of saltwater. The two-storey glass elevator inside the aquarium can be booked to entertain delegates and guests. This breathtaking exotic underwater spectacle gives delegates plenty of time to get up close to hundreds of exotic fish, as they ride up the 25 metres to reach the DomLounge.
The DomLounge is a unique event location on the top floor of the hotel with breathtaking views of the city including the TV tower, red town hall, Nikolai district and Berlin Cathedral. Two levels feature a function space of 1,400sq m, five function rooms and four foyers. In addition to this top venue the Radisson Blu Hotel features more meeting and event facilities on the ground floor, covering a space of 1,340sq m. A five-metre-high foyer flooded with natural daylight forms the centre of this meeting section. The 530sq m foyer is graced with a futuristic glass roof, which allows the outside to come in and invigorate delegates and guests with a burst of natural light. High-quality wood and fresh tones provide a pleasant atmosphere for the ten air-conditioned meeting rooms.
The 427 guest rooms including 22 suites combine timeless elegance with cutting edge comfort. The clear design in the puristic style, reflect urban trends whilst the dark wood and warm tones of the high-class furniture create a homely atmosphere. All rooms are equipped with flat screen TV, trouser press, laptop-size safe, air-conditioning and minibar.
Wireless-LAN and high-speed Internet access is included in the room rate. Culinary delights are served at restaurant Heat. With an open show kitchen, large terrace and wonderful view of the Berlin Cathedral it’s a great place to dine. There’s a huge range of dishes on offer from spicy dishes from the Tandoor oven to crispy pizzas from the Australian wood-fired oven. A lively gathering place is the Atrium Lobby Lounge & Bar, beneath the AquaDom. For fitness and relaxation the hotel provides a swimming pool with counter current system, two saunas, a steam bath, 24-hour fitness room as well as massage and beauty treatments.
Since January 2009 the hotel is awarded with the ISO 14001 certificate by the TÜV Rheinland Group for outstanding environmental management and the staff is trained by MPI (Meetings Professional International). Last year the Radisson Blu Hotel has been voted as among the Top 25 Hotels in Germany by reviewers on TripAdvisor for the Travellers’ Choice Award 2010. So if you’re looking for the spectacular in Berlin, look for the award winning Radisson Blu Hotel.
