The legendary hotel receives a new, fourth industry accolade as Berlin’s most glamorous address and leading hotel

Throughout its remarkable history, and particularly since its reopening in 1997, the luxurious Hotel Adlon Kempinski has been recognised annually with prestigious awards, including numerous accolades for its unparalleled service excellence. This success story has now reached a new milestone, as the internationally renowned Condé Nast Traveler has named the Adlon one of only two hotels in Germany to be included in its newly established Triple Crown list, while also recognising it as Berlin’s most glamorous address and leading hotel.

Only the world’s most exclusive hotels were considered for nomination. Eligible properties were required to have appeared on all three of Condé Nast Traveler’s most coveted lists over the past 30 years: the Hot List, the Gold List and the Readers’ Choice Awards. This newly introduced Triple Crown distinction sets itself apart from previously attainable individual awards, establishing itself as one of the travel industry’s most prestigious overall honours.

‘We consider it a great privilege that the internationally respected Condé Nast Traveler has selected the Adlon for its inaugural Triple Crown list and recognised us with such high praise. My entire team and I are immensely proud of this achievement,’ said Hotel Director Christian Hirt. ‘It is a motivating acknowledgement of our daily commitment to making every guest’s stay as exceptional as possible.’

In its review, Condé Nast Traveler noted: ‘...Adlon makes you feel that this is where the action is, but also that it can be a soothing retreat from the travails of the world.’ It also remarked: ‘The light-filled rooms and windows that you can open look out on the Brandenburg Gate. There can be no more iconic view than this.’

• The Hot List recognises the best new hotels of each year.
• The Gold List is Condé Nast’s annual selection of favourite hotels, curated by its expert travel editors.
• The Readers’ Choice Awards are determined by Condé Nast Traveler readers and are widely regarded as among the most trusted accolades in global travel.

As the magazine’s newest and highest distinction, the Triple Crown is reserved exclusively for a select group of hotels that have previously achieved this rare combination of all three honours.
The Triple Crown is far more than a new list of recommendations – it is a carefully curated collection of exceptional hotels that have earned the admiration of discerning travellers over many years and are described by Condé Nast Traveler simply as the ‘best of the best’.
