Day 1
Berlin Upon arrival at Berlin airport, Take a transfer with a private vehicle and German speaking Driver to your hotel. A welcome package with your vouchers, a city map, train tickets (if relevant) and any other touristic information that you may find useful will be waiting for you upon your arrival at your first hotel on your trip. Louisa`s Place Hotel (5*) is located in the heart of Berlin, at the famous Kurfuerstendamm and is surrounded by a multitude of restaurants, cafés, boutiques of all renowned designers, galleries and theatres. The central location of the hotel allows a comfortable journey as well as quick orientation within the German capital. Numerous tourist sights such as the Grunewald area, the Gedaechtniskirche or the Zoological Garden lie within walking distance.The typical Berlin style mansion has been restored with a special affinity to details and almost invisibly equipped with the latest technical features. The individual floor plans of the 47 suites present the perfect surrounding for all kinds of desires around living - up to 102 sqm offer room for your personality. Let yourself get indulged by the metropolitan kitchen of the chef Holger Zurbrüggen in the modern and elegant atmosphere of the Balthazar restaurant. Guests can also relax by taking advantage off their pool and sauna. Say Berlin and people immediately think of the Wall, even though it is over a decade since "Die Mauer" was broken down. But Berlin has much more to offer and is growing in popularity with tourists wanting something with a bit more grit than most European destinations. The city has been in the midst of rapid regeneration in the last few years and in the West super-modern buildings provide a backdrop for a dynamic and cosmopolitan city that is distinctly new millennium in outlook. The East meanwhile is a model of twenty-first century urban development - the grey Communist concrete has been replaced with gleaming new structures that look to the city's future rather than dwelling on the past.
