International celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Kirk Douglas, and Roger Moore stayed here, as did Nobel Prize-winning physicist Otto Hahn and the Dalai Lama. The hotel came to embody the sophisticated cosmopolitanism for which West Berlin was known as the “showcase of the West.”
