Family Stays in Berlin

Discover a luxury family stay in Berlin where adults and children can enjoy an exceptional experience without compromise. At our historic hotel, a five-star vacation means parents and grandparents can indulge in refined elegance while children embark on a captivating journey of discovery. As a premier family hotel in Berlin, we eliminate the trade-off between luxury and family convenience. 

From the moment you arrive, our dedicated Kempinski Kids initiative ensures that younger guests feel celebrated with tailored amenities, specialised dining and a custom passport to adventure. Offering elegant connecting rooms with five-star service, our hotel near the Brandenburg Gate provides the perfect base for an unforgettable multi-generational family holiday.

For the Children

We believe that a memorable journey begins from the moment our youngest guests arrive. Younger explorers are welcomed with their own premium amenities in the room, including custom child-sized bathrobes and slippers.

The true highlight for our young guests is the Adlon Adventurers Pass, a beautifully designed passport that guides children through five interactive discovery stations across the hotel. At each stop, they collect a custom stamp before continuing their adventure.

• First Station: Lobby Bar & Lounge – Younger guests are invited to channel their inner mixologist. They can create a custom alcohol-free cocktail and give it a name that is entirely their own.
• Second Station: Lady in Red – Little ones can become hotel detectives as they discover why our elegant Ladies & Gentlemen wear their signature red attire each day.
• Third Station: Bel Etage – This is a chance to get creative at the breakfast setting. Younger guests can design a custom bracelet at our crafting area. They weave the letters of the word ‘Adlon’ into their artwork to take home as a personal keepsake.
• Fourth Station: Brasserie Quarré – Children are invited to put their estimation skills to the test. They look closely at the large display glass on the restaurant table and submit their best guess as to how many individual pieces of pasta are inside.
• Fifth Station: Flower Atelier & Boutique – This stop takes younger explorers to our botanical sanctuary, where they search the floral displays for hidden little elephants named ‘Ella’ playing hide-and-seek. As a bonus activity, they are invited to draw their favourite flower in their passport.

For the Parents

While the children are engaged in their discovery activities or enjoying our professional babysitting service (available upon request, surcharge applies), parents can focus on absolute relaxation and fine dining. They can rejuvenate with a restorative treatment at the 900-square-metre Adlon Spa by Resense, or enjoy an exceptional evening of haute cuisine. Dine throughout the day on Pariser Platz at our elegant Brasserie Quarré, or experience the pinnacle of European avant-garde cuisine at our one-Michelin-starred restaurant, Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer, led by Chef de Cuisine Jonas Zörner.

For the Grandparents

The architecture and location of the hotel make it an ideal setting for a multi-generational holiday. Situated just 30 seconds from the hotel entrance, the historic Brandenburg Gate provides an iconic landmark right on the doorstep, allowing for relaxed walks with everything within easy reach. Grandparents can gather the family together for our celebrated Adlon Afternoon Tea, served from Thursday to Sunday at the Bel Etage. While adults enjoy fine teas and delicate pastries, children are offered their own special hot chocolate alongside sweet and savoury selections from the tea cart. Additionally, our grand Adlon Brunch, hosted on the last Sunday of every month with live music, provides the perfect occasion to celebrate family togetherness.
