Radisson Blu Hotel Berlin

Hotel Features. Epitomising 21st century design, the Radisson SAS Hotel Berlin spirals around the world's largest cylindrical aquarium, which fills the skylit atrium with turquoise light.

Dark wood floors and cream linen create a minimalist feel in Heat, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant opens onto a waterfront terrace overlooking Berlin Cathedral. Healthy Asian inspired dishes are served on communal tables at the riverside Noodle Kitchen. Beneath the aquarium, the semi circular Atrium Lobby Lounge and Bar offers snacks, coffee and champagne. Leather seating, glass screens and soft lighting set the scene for sushi and cocktails in the Aqua Lounge and Bar.

There is a business centre and wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel.

The Radisson SAS Hotel Berlin's health club houses an indoor pool with two counter currents, a solarium, sauna, aromatherapy steam room, and 24 hour fitness room. Guests can retreat to the relaxation room or refresh with drinks and snacks at the juice bar. Treatments range from reflexology to body wraps and manicures. Hotel Berlin has 427 air conditioned guestrooms, opening onto balconies with atrium or city views. The contemporary rooms contrast cream hues with dark wood chairs and brown leather headboards. All rooms have complimentary wireless Internet access, safes, satellite television and minibars. Bathrooms have bath/shower combinations and complimentary toiletries.

Expert Tip. The Radisson SAS Hotel Berlin's 25 metre cylindrical aquarium (AquaDom) is filled with one million litres of seawater and 2, 500 tropical fish. Rising up through the centre, a lift (surcharge) affords close up views.
