The 232 room hotel sits within the new Zoofenster skyscraper, designed by Professor Christoph Mäckler. Up to 1,200 delegates can be hosted at the hotel's meeting spaces, which include a large ballroom and a terrace for a maximum of 200 delegates.

Waldorf Astoria Berlin is a wonderful addition to our portfolio, offering exquisite luxury that combines culinary excellence with a world-class spa offering and flawless, intuitive service."

Dining and drinking experiences include a restaurant run by world-renowned French chef, Pierre Gagnaire. The Romanisches Café meanwhile is set to reopen on the ground floor of the hotel, just a stone’s throw from where it was first located around 100 years ago. A spa area also features.
