Marble floors, stucco ceilings and wrought ironwork all feature at the grand, five storey Golden Tulip Residenz Hotel, which occupies an original Art Nouveau building, 200 metres from Kurfurstendamm in central Berlin. Traditional decor in soft, neutral colours and dark wood furniture characterise the 81 guestrooms, all of which have televisions, minibars, telephones with Internet connections and private bathrooms with hair dryers.
Guests can work out in the hotel's small gym and relax in the Finnish sauna and steam room, or enjoy a massage treatment. Mirrored walls, chandeliers and tables set with crisp white linen adorn the high ceilinged, Art Nouveau restaurant, where guests can enjoy Mediterranean dishes at lunch and dinner. Drinks and cocktails are available in the bar and the lobby lounge provides a quiet location in which to browse the complimentary daily papers. Facilities for business guests include conference rooms and Internet access and guests can enjoy breakfast in the comfort of their rooms thanks to room service. The front desk is open round the clock and has a safe deposit box for valuables. The hotel is within a kilometre of the Wilhelm Memorial Church and Berlin's zoo and is three kilometres from the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz. Berlin Tegel Airport is eight kilometres and about a 15 minute journey from the hotel.
