| BARS & RESTAURANTS: | Top |
The best way of filling a hotel with life is with excellent cuisine. The hotel Bristol Berlin can attribute the origins of its success here like no other. Whether restaurant, brasserie or bar, you can look forward to cuisine which is international yet also typically Berlin, creative and traditional, and where even the heartiest dishes are light. Dining at the Kempinski has always been a wonderful pleasure.
Kempinski Grill
Perhaps it is that little bit of reserve which really distinguishes the
truly great establishments. Behind the unspectacular byname "Grill" stands a
renowned restaurant which has been a gastronomic highlight in Berlin since its
opening in 1952. And it knows exactly how to perfectly spoil its guests in an
elegant setting with international delicaces and excellent wines from its own
wine cellar.
The Kempinski Grill with the adjoining "Porcelain Room" is also an excellent
venue for exclusive functions.

World-class cocktails, music and events
Connoisseurs regard the Bristol Bar ass being amongst the 10 most elegant bars
in the city. It is, of course, not only the first class cocktails, stylish
interior, live music, music clip presentations and the live showing of sports
events which make each visit something very special. It is, above all, our
guests. From monday to saturday from 7:00pm, bar manager, Mr Altenberger, and
his team do everything they can to make your evening an enjoyable one.
| HISTORY: | Top |
“With the Kempinski, Berlin returns.”
Dr. Frederic W. Unger didn’t let times of unrest stop him. In 1951 the only
surviving grandchild of the Kempinski family laid the foundation stone for a new
hotel. It was one of the first major investments in post-War Berlin. In doing so,
he breathed new life into the building land of his family at Kurfürstendamm 27.
Yet the symbolic value for the divided city was much greater – it represented a
piece of hope. In 1952, at the hotel opening, a local newspaper had the headline,
“Kempinski means Berlin is returning.” With this, also came the memory of the
Jewish Kempinski family which had been expropriated by the National Socialists
and forced to emigrate. The new hotel has given new life to the Kempinski name
as well as giving Berlin something back from its identity. A brass plaque by the
hotel lobby reminds visitors of the fate of the family: “their famous hotel was
aryanized in 1937 and was sold against their will, family members were killed or
had to flee.”
Company history

biggest wine cellar and later a restaurant.

1889
Opening of Kempinski main establishment in the Leipziger Straße.
1926
Opening of a second establishment on the Kurfürstendamm, corner Fasanenstraße:
Restaurant and delicatessen "Kempinski". At that time, the Ku'damm was still an
idyllic residential road with gardens and a riding track through the middle.
1928
Takeover of the "Haus Vaterland" at the Potsdamer Platz with an exciting and new

welcomes guests from all over the world and is one of the group’s flagships.
29.7.1952
Official opening of the Kempinski Hotel Bristol Berlin for guests.
The company acquires the equally traditional Atlantic Hotel in Hamburg, known as
the "Weiße Schloss" (White Castle). Thanks to innovative and technologically

river, quickly became a “temporary home” for passengers of the Hamburg-America
ship route.

The Kempinski Hotel Bristol Berlin expands to offer guests more comfort. Ten
years later, the 12-storey tower receives air conditioning, 63 further guest
rooms and a Presidential Suite.

Munich (the Four Seasons) and establishes a partnership with Lufthansa which is

decided to give the company a new name: "Kempinski Hotelbetriebs-Aktiengesellschaft"
(joint stock company).
1972

fourth German destination – the Kempinski Hotel Gravenbruch in Frankfurt.
