Landmarks / Shopping in Berlin
It would be hard to imagine Berlin without the world-famous Kurfürstendamm, affectionately referred to as the Ku’damm by the city’s residents. It originates near the lovely Kaiser- Wilhelm- Gedächtniskirche and leads into the lively shopping mile on Tauentzienstraße, at the end of which you will find the legendary KaDeWe. The KaDeWe rightly prides itself on being a luxury department store and is a place that especially foodies should visit. To the other side of the church, the Ku’damm stretches into a charming promenade – made to seem endless by the large number of shops and enticing cafes lining it– that is sure to stir up the blood of any prêt-á-porter fans.
Theater / Culture in Berlin
Quite a few of the Ku’damm’s side streets lead to further interesting tourist attractions. Uhlandstaße and Bleibtreustraße are good examples of that. The fashionable boutiques and the exclusive location invites you to take a stroll. A worthwhile insider tip for art lovers is the Käthe- Kollwitz- Museum in Fasanenstraße. The charming Renaissance Theater – where the guests are enchanted by sophisticated subject matter and an Art Decó aesthetic – receives our recommendation. The Theater des Westens – renown for its terrific musicals – is in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
Tip: The Museum für Fotografie [Museum for Photography] - a must see for fans of photography in general and of Helmut Newton in particular - is located within five minutes walking distance of the Berlin Excelsior Hotel.
For those visitors interested in relaxing in a Café atmosphere, we suggest doing so with a slice of Schwarzwälderkirsch [Ed: Black Forest Cherry] cake at either the Café Leysieffer or at the Café Kranzler on the Ku’damm. Additionally, there are many cafés and bars located at the nearby Savignyplatz. Both the Paris Bar and the Schwarze Café are a must for night-owls. Whether celebrities, artists, or actors: you will find all of them there enjoying their evening. Of course, there are also a wide variety of restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel that offer international cuisine. We suggest that you turn to our hotel team for additional information.
