In Berlin's City West in the district of Charlottenburg, the Best Western Hotel Kantstrasse Berlin, Berlin, Germany, sits a street back from the Kurfurstendamm, with spacious modern rooms, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, a free coffee and tea station, soundproof windows, and a generous breakfast buffet, a short walk from the western sights.
The Kurfurstendamm, the zoo, the memorial church and the exhibition grounds are all within a few minutes' walk or ride, with the rest of Berlin easy to reach by public transport. Shops and restaurants line the surrounding streets.
Berlin's City West grew up around Kurfurstendamm, the grand boulevard that was the showcase of the western half of the divided city. The broken spire of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church stands as a reminder of the war, the historic zoo and aquarium draw families nearby, and the grand Charlottenburg Palace and its gardens lie a little to the north. Museums and nightlife in the eastern centre wait a short train ride away.
