IHG Hotels & Resorts signs *Bristol Berlin* as Germany’s first Vignette Collection hotel, bringing luxury, unique character, and global hospitality to an iconic Berlin landmark.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Bristol Berlin, Vignette Collection, marking the brand’s expansion into Germany.

First opened in 1952, Bristol Berlin is a historic landmark on Kurfürstendamm, one of the city’s most iconic avenues. The hotel’s prime location places guests in the heart of Berlin, surrounded by theaters, architectural landmarks, and luxury shopping.

Once rebranded, it will feature 303 rooms, an all-day brasserie, a stylish lobby lounge and bar, a spa with a swimming pool, and 1,500 sqm of meeting and event space.
