Bristol Berlin, Vignette Collection

Since its opening in 1952, the former Kempinski Hotel Bristol has been synonymous with luxury, style, and understated glamour—a true Berlin landmark with a rich history. Even back in the glamorous 1950s, the “Kempi,” as it was then known, was a social hotspot and retreat for film icons, politicians, and intellectuals. 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 embodied the sophisticated cosmopolitanism for which West Berlin was known as the “showcase of the West.”
