The subway station and the city railway station are located directly in front of the hotel. So to speak, the Best Western is located at a sweetspot between the Berlin city centre and the city Potsdam. The hotel is located in centre of the Berlin district Steglitz, neighbouring the old and the new townhall of Steglitz. Across the street, there is the new shopping mall “Das Schloss” (“The Palace”), with nice shops, cafes, restaurants and a food court.
