Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 2,
10785 Berlin (Rates 200 €-400 €)
Hotel Information: The Grand Hyatt Berlin is anchored in Potsdamer Platz´s new development, built to restore the square and convert it into the new financial district of the city. During the nineteenth century Potsdamer Platz was one of the most popular walking spots in Berlin and during the 1920s one of the busiest squares in Europe . After its near complete destruction during World War II and the erection of the Berlin Wall, it become a no man´s land. The powerful presence of the hotel, marked by the solid mass of its volume is a reflection of the city´s history of cosmopolitan architecture. From the exterior the large arcades and the detailed work in sandstone and the red brick stand out. In the interior a restrained and elegant style prevails through the use of a contemporary approach and outline-edge elements. Purely decorative effects have been avoided in order to put more emphasis on objects that accentuate the building´s architectural context. In the entrance are two large eye catching inverted glass pyramind that hang from the celling producing light and shadow effects over the course of the day. Stabs of illuminated alabaster and a work of art by artist Cerdid Millar dominate the main wall. A dark marble staircase leads to the banquet hall.
