An overview shows the building (L) of the luxury Hotel Adlon Kempinski in Berlin on August 4, 2026. The luxury hotel Adlon in Berlin is to be sold for at least 280 million euros. The luxury Hotel Adlon in Berlin originally opened in October 1907, but burned down at the end of the Second World War in 1945. After the fall of the Wall, a new building modeled on the historic original was constructed on the same site and opened in August 1997 as today's Hotel Adlon Kempinski.
