The legendary Hotel Adlon Kempinski has added a prestigious new accolade to its storied history. Condé Nast Traveler has officially named the Berlin icon one of only two hotels in Germany to feature in its newly established “Triple Crown” list, further cementing its status as the city’s most glamorous and leading hospitality address.
The Best of the Best – The Triple Crown
The Triple Crown is not merely another industry ranking; it is an elite distinction reserved for properties that have demonstrated sustained excellence over three decades. To qualify, hotels must have appeared on all three of Condé Nast Traveler’s most coveted lists: the Hot List, the Gold List, and the Readers’ Choice Awards.
This recognition serves as a testament to the hotel’s ability to remain both a vibrant hub of activity and a tranquil retreat. As the magazine aptly noted, guests can enjoy a soothing sanctuary while remaining at the very heart of the city—often with the most iconic view in Berlin, looking directly out onto the Brandenburg Gate.

A Dedication to Excellence
Hotel Director Christian Hirt expressed his pride in the achievement, noting that the accolade is a powerful acknowledgement of the team’s daily commitment to crafting exceptional guest experiences. Whether it is the light-filled, airy rooms or the unwavering quality of service that has defined the property since its 1997 reopening, the Adlon continues to set the benchmark for European luxury.
For the discerning traveller, this Triple Crown recognition confirms what many have long known: the Hotel Adlon Kempinski is not just a place to stay, but an essential part of the travel experience in the German capital.
