Scene
Classic luxury hotel on famous shopping street
Kempinski Hotel Bristol
has a grand, classic feel with marble floors and spiral staircases. Guests,
a mix of tourists and business travelers, can sit directly on Kurfurstendamm while
dining at bistro tables outside Reinhard’s and taking in the posh scene. The
hotel has a long wooden bar where guests can drink cocktails and listen to live
music as well as a parlor-like room with a fireplace and couches where guests
can order drinks and snacks. The Kempinski Grill is an upscale restaurant on-site
with an elegant dining space featuring white table linens and hanging
candelabras where guests can order duck, veal, venison, and seafood. Overall the atmosphere is polished, though rooms that have not been renovated feel quite dated.
Location
Excellent location on chic shopping street Kurfurstendamm, or Ku'Damm
The Kempinski Hotel Bristol is located directly
on Kurfurstendamm, one of the most famous avenues in Berlin lined with stores, restaurants,
and hotels. It’s across the street from a Starbucks and a block from a Hard Rock Café. It’s
far from most tourist attractions, except for the Berlin Zoo, which is within
walking distance. The U-Bahn is a quick walk away, and the Berlin Wall Memorial can
be reached in under 25 minutes by subway. Tegel Airport is less than a 25-minute
bus ride.
Rooms
Spacious rooms; some are modern while others contain dated decor
Rooms at Kempinski Hotel
Bristol are large, but vary between modern and dated. In some rooms, crown molding and
carpeting give the space a classic feel, but the wooden furnishings are dated and
some guests complain of an odd smell. The Deluxe Rooms feel fresh and more modern, with a sleek work desk and contemporary furniture. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, well-stocked
minibars, and limited free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are classy with pretty tile, makeup mirrors, and towel warmers. Standard Rooms have shower/tub
combos, and Premium Rooms feature separate showers and tubs. Bathrobes,
bottled water, and fresh fruit are nice touches, and suites with balconies are
available.
Features
Indoor pool and spa, small fitness center, and three dining areas
The hotel has a lot of amenities
including a round indoor pool with lounge chairs, a small fitness center with a
few older exercise machines and hand weights, two saunas, and a spa offering
massages and facial treatments. There are two restaurants on-site (including the opportunity to dine outdoors at charming bistro tables), a parlor
with drinks and snacks, and a bar with live music. Breakfast is expensive, but
earns good reviews. There are 10 conference rooms available for private events.
There is no parking at the hotel. Wi-Fi is free, but limited.
