For those fascinated by history, the Gedaechtniskirche is just around the corner. This site contains the remains of a church that was heavily bombed during WWII. Miraculously, its bell tower survived, the only structure standing amongst the ruins. After the war, a beautiful modern church was constructed on the site, incorporating the former bell tower and creating a striking montage of old and new. For enthusiasts of more worldly matters, the hotel's proximity to KaDeWe, Europe's second largest department store (after Harrod's) and a showpiece of West Berlin capitalism, is sure to delight. The Ku'Damm, a long boulevard where KaDeWe and countless other stores are located, offers hours of entertainment for the die-hard shopper. The Hotel Hardenberg Berlin's smaller size allows its staff to offer each guest personalized service in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Each of the hotel's 41 clean and comfortable guest rooms is soundproofed and equipped with direct- dial telephone, cable television, trouser press, and private bath facilities with hairdryer. A sumptuous buffet breakfast, included in the guest price, is beautifully presented each morning in the hotel's charming breakfast room. You'll be in good hands at the Hotel Hardenberg Berlin, and only minutes away from fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues. |
