The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin Berlin, Germany Reviews

We have stayed at the Ritz in Berlin two years in a row over the Christmas and New Years Eve holidays. We had a regular room the first year and a suite this year. The rooms are all very luxurious and comfortable. In our suite we had a down comforters and every day we were brought chocolate, fruit, cookies and water. There are two restaurants; both have fabulous food. The upscale Vitrum is small, which is actually a plus. The service is first rate and the food was a gourmet's paradise. Yes, it was pricey, but if you are not seeking a budget hotel, this would be my first choice in Berlin. We have stayed in most of the other 4 and 5 star Berlin hotels as we are there several times a year. The new Ritz is my favorite. There is a small mall right across the street which is great for some shopping....they have a supermarket and drug stores and cafes, along with some retail stores. At Christmas time, there is a Christmas market there too. The hotel location is right by the new Sony Center and a 5 minute walk to the Brandenburg Gate. If I have any criticism, it would be that for such an upscale place they should have large flat screen TVs in the rooms. Still had the old fashioned kind. Other than that, service, ambience, location and luxury were all top notch.
