What awaits the guest...
... cannot be more pleasant than a stay at the five-star
hotel Brandenburger Hof.
Here luxury is found in privacy, and precious serenity has a
home here, right in the midst of the capital city whirl.
In the elegant, classical palace built at the turn of the
century not far from Kurfürstendamm, a sense of personal dedication and
devotion can be sensed at all times. The owner, Daniela
Sauter, personally manages the hotel.
Inside the building constructed during the reign of
the last German emperor, not a trace of musty Prussia is to be found,
but rather cheerful Italy and lush Asia.
The guests make their way through a sandstone gate straight
into the heart of the hotel. The glass-roofed courtyard is the
exquisite “living room” of the building – an enclosed garden and lounge
in one.
The hand-selected interior furnishings just beg to be your
cozy refuge.
How about a glass of champagne? Or have a cup of
coffee?
Rest your eyes on the Japanese garden which changes with the
seasons. Here breakfast and lunch are served or heavenly tranquility is
absorbed while sitting at the bar or in the voluptuously cushioned
sofas and armchairs. Let the evening fade away accompanied by
the croonings of after dinner jazz.
In the four surrounding salons,
elegant dinner is served, be it in a private circle or with business
company.
The library and the wine salon provide cozy getaways.
Chef Bobby Bräuer and
his Quadriga staff indulge all
the guests both in the salons as well as in the lounge. And in the
gourmet restaurant the mood turns festive.
Luxurious rooms and suites, beauty oasis,
Michelin-star restaurant, lounging in the enclosed garden.
The Brandenburger Hof is a delightful refuge.
Owner Daniela Sauter and team present the
guest with a home created from the stuff dreams are made of.

FINEST CUISINE, GERMAN WINES
Die Quadriga, its chef and the wine cellar.
"Each top-quality and natural ingredient has its own
ambrosial taste. And it must absolutely never, ever be covered
up."
This is the inalterable credo of the chef at Brandenburger
Hof. Bobby Bräuer
calls the shots in the Michelin-star kitchen of the Quadriga
restaurant, and he has been known to serve baked calf sweetbread
rounded off with vanilla, or Pauillac lamb complemented by lavender and
Fleur de Sel.
Bobby Bräuer is one of the most talented chefs in the country
who learned his craft from Dieter Müller, Eckart Witzigmann and André
Jäger.
With a passionate penchant for all things Mediterranean, the
outgoing Quadriga chef is the
imaginative designer of one of Berlin’s finest restaurants.
His exquisite combinations find a most suitable atmosphere in
the gold-green Salon orofino as well as in the red festive ambience
Salon Königsstuhl.
As befits a gourmet restaurant (1*Michelin, 17 points Gault
Millau), Brandenburger Hof offers the bon vivant an
inimitable selection of German wines.
In the Treasure Trove of German Wines
(wine menu of the year 2003, Gault Millau), a total
of 850 different wines are stored including 450 Rieslings,
120 Spätburgunder, Silvaner, Traminer and white Burgunder.
Rare vintages as well as old and young German grand cru wines
and the choicest creations of young, talented winemakers can be found.
At Brandenburger Hof the pearls of German
wine culture glitter and sparkle, and the competing with the delicacies
of the Quadriga.
The guests choose from the great treasure trove –
either to acccompany their dinner at the restaurant, or they indulge in
a luxuriously prolonged tasting in the wine cellar.
IN THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS
The Quadriga Lounge. A Piazza in Prussia.
The heart of the hotel. A jewel in the center of
everything.
The Quadriga Lounge is
where the soul of the hotel is expressed, and both in summer and
winter, the guests stand in the airy courtyard garden beneath the glass
heavens of Berlin.
Those in for leisure might stroll first about the enchanting
Japanese garden, tarry at the bar, sink into the curled red velvet sofa
with a view of the lobby or visit with acquaintances in the voluptuous
sofas and armchairs of the lounge.
Spring tones caress the guests. The
interior was arranged by selected international designers.
It is both capricious and austere, breathtakingly feminine,
fresh as spring and homey, warm with a touch of cool.
The Quadriga Lounge is
an entrancing taste of Italy set within Prussian walls.
This is where breakfast and lunch are served, or one can
simply while away delicious hours of leisure. A select menu with
smaller entrees is available.
Mouthwatering delicacies, charmingly christened
Quadrolinos are served not only at tea time. In the evening, whilst
sipping an aperitif, it may well be that the ivories will be tickled,
or perhaps, caressed. Or perchance there is a poetry reading, an
extravagant fashion show or a post-dinner jazz session, all before the
moon bids good night.
The Quadriga Lounge is
a courtyard garden and terrace at the same time. It
is the Brandenburger Hof’s Piazza, shot through with sunlight, clothed
in a turn-of-the-century gown.
BERLINER SALONS
Bookworm getaway, tête-à-tête, private
dining.
The four Berliner Salons
surrounding the classical enclosed garden courtyard are inviting
refuges full of delight and intimacy for festive gatherings both small
and large:
The Salon Platini with
pink chrysanthemums hand-pressed on gold-colored silk wallpaper exudes
Chinese flair.
A garden blooming in the winter, too, in which the sun keeps
shining into the evening.
Opposite, in the Salon Registano
a tropical garden is blooming before a crystal blue horizon lusciously
accentuated with wine-red cushions.
And above it all, a perfect exemplar of a classical chandelier
sparkles over the festive scene.
The Library and the Wine cabinett are
intimate getaways.
The former for reading, for enjoying a fine cigar, a digestif.
The
wine salon, from which the in-house wine cellar can be accessed
directly, lends itself to lively conversations. The Sommelier, will be
delighted to assist wine connoisseurs and those aspiring to become one.
