Is Hotel Adlon Kempinski worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Hotel Adlon Kempinski earns the hours.

Old-world grandeur in the most symbolic spot in the city — you step out the door onto the Brandenburg Gate. It's formal, classic, and priced accordingly; this is grand-hotel tradition, not contemporary cool.
