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.
