Waldorf Astoria Berlin on Postcard

"An art deco masterpiece with a distinctive spa and pool, located in the heart of Berlin’s shopping district, Ku’damm."

An Architecture Lover’s Dream Tour Through Germany’s UNESCO Sites and Beyond - AFAR

"Fans of the flagship Waldorf Astoria New York will feel right at home in this Berlin outpost, set in an elegant skyscraper in City West and just around the corner from the exclusive shopping boulevard Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm). Rooms are seriously big—starting at 452 square feet—and large marble bathrooms have separate tubs and showers in every category. Reached by a separate elevator, the Tower Suites (floors 22 to 30) are worth it for the views. For a true splurge, the massive 31st-floor Presidential Suite—complete with a grand piano, open fireplace, and two balconies—boasts sweeping city views from every room." - Jennifer Ceaser, Liz Humphreys

The 17 Best Hotels in Berlin

"Although it only opened at the beginning of 2013, this 31-floor, limestone-lined skyscraper hotel has already become one of City West’s 5-star hot spots. Rising dramatically above the historic Zoologischer Garten district, it’s a statement in every sense. Designed by German architect Professor Christoph Mäckler, the hotel’s architectural boldness is matched by its art deco interiors: There are chandeliers and barrel-vaulted ceilings in the main entrance (a nod to the New York City Waldorf), and the rooms are clad in warm-hued woods, soft leather, and polished marble. Since each room has at least one glass wall, they all offer exceptional views (except, perhaps, for the few that face the inner courtyard); the higher you go, the better the experience gets. The hotel also benefits from a relaxed seasonal Mediterranean restaurant, a handsome café-bar, and a high-end spa."

We stayed between December 20 and 25, 2024, and had an exceptional experience. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and their dedication stood out. This was especially true at the Time Square restaurant, where Alexandra and Andreas made breakfast an extraordinary experience. Their warm welcomes, attentiveness, and genuine happiness created a wonderful atmosphere. The staff's efforts truly set this place apart, and we will definitely be returning.

Loved my stay here! It was home for 2 weeks. The staff, especially at breakfast, were very good. Beautiful hotel, solid gym & swimming pools. Great location right across the road from the train & lots of eateries. Would stay here again when in Berlin next.

Could not have been happier with our stay. Room was very spacious. Service was very professional and ready to assist with any questions or concerns. Location was perfect for quick access to trains and there was a christmas market right outside. Highly recommend the breakfast. Water in room is refreshed daily but minibar items come at an extra cost

Its a nice hotel with a great quality and view. The entrance is somehow smallish - i did expected more grand lobby. The room are great and the bathroom heavy and spacious. There are huge closet to put your clothes.

Really nice hotel, I arrived on Friday afternoon and was very kindly welcomed by the reception staff for a quick check-in. My room unfortunately had a problem with the air conditioning and the staff was super helpful and kind changing my room in not even 5 minutes on the clock, really kudos for the service. |The room was beautiful, equipped with all comforts, I slept well, comfortable bed. |The breakfast on the first floor is really good, I speak for the sweet part because that's what I prefer, the staff is super nice. |The waffles are really good. |The train station arriving from the airport is in front of the hotel, as are the U3 and U1 subways. |In conclusion it was a really good experience.

Wow! My first stay at a Waldorf Astoria, and it certainly exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The breakfast selection was outstanding, offering an impressive variety of high-quality options. As an Honors member, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a discount, making the breakfast a great value at just 25 euros. The rooms were immaculate, and the attention to detail in cleanliness was remarkable. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, providing a luxurious night’s sleep. I particularly appreciated the single, large duvet on the king-sized bed—unlike the separate duvets commonly found in other German hotels, which can be inconvenient for solo travelers. A standout feature was the delightful Aesop amenities, which added a touch of sophistication and indulgence to the stay. Every aspect of my time here felt thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and satisfaction. Waldorf Astoria Berlin has set a high standard, and I look forward to returning.

The location is great next to Bahnhof Zoo station and in the heart of former West Berlin right next to Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtnis Kirche. My room was great, overlooking the church. Great bed and bathroom as you would expect. The breakfast is simply brilliant, wonderful service and great offering, buffet and a la carte. Onsite parking, gym, spa, I had no time to use them but look great! This is my favourite hotel in Berlin! 👍

I was upgraded to a huge suite that had one and a half bathrooms and a bar area, and the morning buffet was delicious. The hotel also Has an excellent spa. However, they turned me down on my request for a late check and i was unable to use the spa after I checked out.

Oct 2023- Space, comfort, location and customer service is what made this a pleasant stay. When we got out of our Uber, there was someone there ready to take our bags. The woman at the front desk (short, blond hair, I'm sorry I forgot her name) was friendly, attentive and accommodating when we requested an early check in. The room is spacious. Bed and comforter was comfy. The drapes could use some attention. It looked dusty. The shower and tub were nice especially after being out all morning sightseeing. I highly enjoyed the toiletries which is Aesop. Location is convenient. There's a subway station and bus stop nearby. Although the area by the grocery store was not pleasant, it was convenient to have nearby. I had redeemed my free night from Hilton Honors. And I'm glad we stayed here on our last night in Berlin.

If I could give negative stars in a review, I would. Check in time was three, we finally got our room at 6 PM. Booked a 90 minute massage and that experience was completely ruined by incompetent staff. Never saw the actual spa portion on the "Spa". Laundry service takes three days and they will make an excuse as to why it's not ready. All anyone could say is "I'm sorry." Yes, I agree, you are one very SORRY hotel. Do not waste your money here. Go to a Marriott chain. The Holiday Inn is looking very good at this point. Super sad and frustrating. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Simply the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at, splurge on a room with a balcony. Best Service from all, but especially Lucas and Linda at the Front Desk!!!!!!

This review is on visit Oct 2019: -lovely but modern style hotel -meals were lovely -High Tea is highly recommended! -minus a star due to modern style & less polished service... no discreet way to get to & from the spa

My husband and I recently stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Berlin over Christmas for tree nights and had an excellent stay. It's located in an awesome area and directly across the street from a shopping mall and the zoo/aquarium (and an awesome Christmas market!). We are HHonors members and received a complimentary upgrade at check in as well as complimentary breakfast at their restaurant on the main level, Roca. Our room was massive with the most gorgeous bathroom and sitting area. The heated floors and TV in the bathroom were incredible! The bed was also very comfy and both TV's in the room had Apple TV. Housekeeping was very thorough and each staff member we interacted with was very kind and helpful. There is a full service spa as well as a nice fitness center and indoor pool and spa. The bar/lounge on the second floor, Lang Bar, is a great spot for cocktails and small bites- incredible decor and service. The complimentary cookies in the lobby were also heavenly. I hope we can stay again some day!

This is a review for the afternoon tea. 5 stars because of: - tea master Leroy Henze was very knowledgeable and walked us through every single tea, giving us background information. Rarely do you meet someone who knows how to perfectly brew a tea and what distinguishes one from the other - amazing view - comfortable atmosphere, cozy - good quality of pastries

Love this hotel!!! It's at a great location. It's near a shopping mall, park, zoo,train station, restaurants, and historic landmarks. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with good amount of space. Customer service is great and restaurants offered here at the hotel are very good. Definitely recommend coming here.

I've traveled around the world in Waldorf Astoria's, all of which I've rated higher. To be fair this is a substantial building. Nice quiet rooms in the middle of a busy city but most anyone can deliver that. Nothing sets this hotel apart from a normal high priced hotel.

An incredible hotel for a seven-night extravaganza in Berlin! 1) Beautiful, comfortable room overlooking the Tiergarten, zoo, and a view of everything important in the distance 2) Attentive staff 3) Excellent food 4) Incredible pool and steam room 5) Perfect location 6) Unbeatable price

Mark M.

Very satisfied with my stay here. As I mentioned earlier, the service is outstanding, and the staff are exceptionally kind. The food is one of a kind, personally I suggest the eggs benedict. Rooms are simply incredible, not to mention the overall cleanliness can only be described as immaculate.

This is my first visit to Berlin - wow, the staff is amazing. Concierge explained all the details and perks of my visit. They even brought us up to our room and showcases the amenities. The staff at the breakfast restaurant was super helpful with our questions on where to sightsee. I can't wait to return to this location for future holidays!

Gloria C.

Yelp

Definitely a great place to stay while in Berlin. Great service, great location, walking distance to metro and train stations. Walking distance to Bikini Berlin, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and restaurants. Easy walk to get on the hop on hop off shuttles. Plus a nice little coffee place on the first floor, great for breakfast (ROCA).

John N.

This is first time stay. Stuff just not helpful. Check in T noon and must wait until 3pm to get my room. Check in clerk just so cold. So disappointed

Miri I.

Yelp

Wonderful service and very comfortable room. Giving four stars and not five stars because this hotel has lots of hidden fees (wifi and swimming pool cost extra)

Josh B.

Yelp

Buyer beware of this hotel. You may get a good rate on the room but you will pay for it in the end. There are a ton of hidden fees and the hotel will add charges to your room even days after you check out. I have diamond Hilton status (at this hotel it means 2 worthless continental breakfast vouchers (bread, butter, coffee, and oj) and a lot of attitude from the wait staff at both of their cafes (romaniches and les solies). Also, they have a tendency to still charge you for things included on the vouchers and hotel (internet services). Do yourself a favor and book any other hotel (you will absolutely regret staying here) in the Hilton chain. Hilton normally treats its guests with dignity and respect but this hotel does not. This hotel is only in it for the "upsell".

Christopher C.

My friend and I were staying at the Waldorf Astoria in Berlin and were physically blocked from coming into the hotel twice. Both times other people were coming into the building with us but because we were Asian we were singled out and blocked from coming in. Thank you Hilton for racially profiling and your racist policies from allowing paying customers into the building.

I stayed here this summer for the first time and it's just as beautiful as the pictures show! I couldn't be happier. The room is beautiful and you can't beat the hotel's location. I look forward to staying here again!

Warning - not a family friendly hotel. After driving 5 hours from Frankfurt we were told that our son was not welcome in the hotel pool aside from very restricted pool hours which we could not make. When I demanded a refund they refused. STAY AWAY families.
