An Art Nouveau façade, a side street and the KaDeWe department store around the corner: the Hotel Air in Berlin is a superior 3-star hotel on Ansbacher Straße. Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is about a 10-minute walk away. It is a good fit if you come to shop around Kurfürstendamm.
Location and getting around
On foot, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and Zoologischer Garten station are each about 10 minutes away. Potsdamer Platz is around 40 minutes on foot and the Brandenburg Gate about 2.7 km away, so for the historic centre the U-Bahn or a taxi is best.
