Anniversary Rates at the Kempinski Hotel Bristol Berlin from $173 per Night

Don’t worry about what to get Berlin’s Kempinski Hotel Bristol  for its 111th birthday—all it really wants is to be stayed in. So much so, in fact, that the flagship of the distinguished Kempinski brand is now offering its rooms to people like you and me for around $173 per night. (Hint…or well, solution: $173 is about 111 Euro, at least today).

I know, I know, there’s not even a name for the 111th anniversary of something (somewhere between “centennial” and “quasquicentennial”), but the Kempinski is getting proud in its old age and wants to show itself off. Before you write the joint off as senile, however, you should know that the “grande dame” of Berlin hotels has earned its bragging rights, and updates have kept it competitive in a city that has likewise reinvented itself since the Wall came down in ‘89.

The Kempi is located on one of Berlin’s most famous avenues, the Kurfürstendamm—call it the Ku’damm if you’re trying not to act like a tourist. This places the hotel smack-dab in the middle of the capital city’s leading upscale retail neighborhood—the Champs-Élysées of Berlin—where one can find shops by Bvlgari, Gucci and Lacoste, amazing restaurants and interesting architecture.

From July 1 through August 28, 111 Euros will allow you to stay in one of the Kempi’s individually-designed rooms, sleep on a Tempur mattress by request (go for it) and enjoy the hotel’s beautiful pool, sauna, steam room and fitness center, all while soaking up a piece of German history. The hotel’s famed breakfast buffet will cost you extra, but word is, it’s well worth it.

Take advantage of this rate while you can, since next year they’ll have to charge at least 112 Euros. Oh, and sign up for our newsletter to get deals worth celebrating delivered to your inbox every Thursday.
