The History of a Hotel – Reading Comprehension
The history of a hotel – Reading Comprehension The Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central Mitte district, at the corner with Pariser Platz, directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The legendary original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II, though a small wing continued operating until 1984. The current hotel, which opened on August 23, 1997, is a new building with a design inspired by the original. In the late 19th century, European hotels, which generally offered no more than overnight accommodation, evolved to become social gathering places which could host large receptions given by nobility and the wealthy. Modeled on American hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, new hotel buildings arose all over the continent with lavishly decorated ballrooms, dining halls, arcades, smoking lounges, libraries, and coffeehouses. In 1873 the Hotel Imperial opened in Vienna, followed by the Hôtel Ritz Paris in 1898, and The Ritz London Hotel in 1906. History in Details In 1905 Lorenz Adlon, a successful wine merchant and restaurateur originally from Mainz, purchased two properties on Unter den Linden. Adlon ran several coffeehouses in Berlin, among others in the Berlin Zoological Garden, and had raised capital to build a hotel on Pariser Platz, at the heart of the German capital. He convinced Kaiser Wilhelm II that Berlin needed a luxury hotel at the level of those in Paris, London and the other European capitals, and so the Kaiser personally cleared the way for Adlon's purchase of the Palais and for the subsequent demolition of the historic building and the constrtuction of the first Adlon Hotel.

Things to See in Berlin Mitte (West)
Things to see in Berlin Mitte (West) If you can't join us for one of our guided Classic Berlin Tours, then please consider our self-guided version, or you could use this as a way to better understand what we will see and explore on the tour. This tour will take you about 90 minutes to 3 hours to complete, depending on how long you spend at each stop. WARNING: This tour differs slightly from the route and content of the guided tour. We recommend using this link to get U-bahn, S-bahn, walking, bike or any directions to the Hauptbahnhof. Be sure to read our post on how to navigate public transportation in Berlin. Click here for a fully interactive map. A - Berlin Central Station The huge glass building from 2006 is Europe’s biggest railroad junction – the elevated rails are for the East-West-connection and underground is North-South. Inside it looks more like a shopping mall with food court and this comes in handy, as Germany’s rather strict rules about Sunday business hours do not apply to shops at railroad stations. B - River Spree Cross Washington Platz outside the station and Rahel-Hirsch-Straße, turn right and use the red bridge with the many sculptures, to cross the River Spree. Berlin has five rivers and several canals. In the city center of Berlin, the Spree is 44 km (27 ml) and its banks are very popular for recreation. Look at the beer garden “Capital Beach” on your left! C - German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) Crossing the bridge, you already see the German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) from 2001, where the German chancellor works.
