The year 2009 in Berlin will be all about the various festivities on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall, the prior peaceful revolution and the political events and decision that facilitated the German reunification.
On November 9, 1989, the wall, the symbol for the division of Germany, fell, having turned the heart of Berlin, Pariser Platz, into a restricted area and a confrontation point of the Cold War for 28 years. Ever since, November 9, 1989 is considered the most important, as well as the most emotional date in recent German history, and the impressive images of the day moved the world.
The history of Hotel Adlon, initially established in 1907 on Pariser Platz, is also inseparably tied to German history. Shortly after the opening of the wall, it was obvious that the reunified Berlin did not want to miss its world-famous hotel. In 1997, it experienced a glamorous reopening by the then Federal President Roman Herzog.
As reciprocation for this historically unique opportunity to revive a hotel legend, Hotel Adlon Kempinski is offering a special arrangement for all those commemorating the eventful night of November 9, 1989 in all its historic significance and trying to grasp the fascinating changes that have taken place in Berlin since the fall of the wall.
The absolute highlight of the Adlon arrangement is an individual guided tour along Berliner Mauerweg (Berlin Wall path), as well as the most significant venues and buildings in the historical course of the German reunification. The jubilee arrangement includes a stay in a luxurious Junior Suite, along with the unparalleled breakfast buffet for connoisseurs the next morning. At gourmet restaurant „Lorenz Adlon“, which was recently awarded the coveted Michelin Star for the sixth time in succession, Chef de Cuisine Thomas Neeser is waiting up with an exquisite 5-course menu, including a glass of champagne. Boasting an amazing view of the illuminated Brandenburger Tor – landmark of the city of Berlin and its reunification – this evening at Lorenz Adlon is bound to be a memorable experience.
The Kempinski brand is represented worldwide by a growing collection of distinctive hotels. Kempinski, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, has gained its reputation in the belief that the foundation of true luxury lies in exclusiveness and individuality. Their portfolio is continuously expanded with new hotels and resorts in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. While this phase of growth is reflecting the strength and success of the Kempinski brand, the collection will stay limited in oder to ensure exclusiveness and individuality.
