After 26 months of construction the new Maritim Hotel Berlin in the heart of the government and diplomatic sector of Berlin is close to completion. In two months time, on 5 August, the hotel which is located within walking distance of Potsdamer Platz and Brandenburg Gate, will welcome its first guests.

The design of the 44th Maritim Hotel reflects the Berlin of the 1930s. It comprises 505 rooms including 71 suites. With 350 sqm the presidential suite is the largest one in the city and offers an impressive view over Berlins embassy quarter.

With an event capacity for up to 5,800 people, the modern four star superior hotel sets a new standard and will be the largest convention hotel in the center of Berlin. The convention halls Maritim and Berlin, both with foyers, comprise more than 4,000 sqm.

A total of 18 rooms and three foyers are available for events while 43 business suites can be used for smaller conferences and meetings with 8 to 24 participants.

The hotel offers three restaurants - the restaurant Maritim seating 600 guests, the à la carte restaurant Grand Restaurant M seating 160, and the restaurant Brasserie with front cooking. During the summer, an additional 60 guests can be accommodated on the terrace.

Exotic cocktails, live music and dancing are available in the elegantly appointed hotel bar Le Bar. Guests can find relaxation in the spacious wellness area. The hotel also has its own underground car park offering 478 spaces on two levels.

Everyone on the site is taking great strides towards the final official inspection of construction work. During the past months a team of top quality staff have been employed who are incessantly working towards the imminent opening.

The team is lead by Mr Thomas Thomsen, General Manager of the Maritim Hotel Berlin since 1 April 2005. His first priority is to establish the Maritim Hotel Berlin as the top location in the meetings and conference market of the city.

Together with the existing Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin, we want to strengthen the Maritim brand nationally and internationally and to prove our professional competence as the leading address in the congress and conference hotel market.

Due to its excellent capacities, the Maritim Hotel Berlin can host all varieties of national and international congresses, conferences and large events in the heart of the city.
