Time traveling my way back to a fancier hotel. The heck with the one next to the casino; I’m heading for the Hotel Adlon in Berlin. Imagery from a 1905-1907 piece of promotional ephemera put out by Lorenz Adlon whose hotel it was. Where Kaiser Wilhelm and his friends spent the winter. And summer.

my earlier piece with a different Hotel Adlon photograph and a special World War II story. https://sarahbguestperry.blog/2018/10/07/an-envisioning-eight-in-the-evening-and-a-compact-out-of-ones-evening-bag-the-powder-room-of-the-hotel-adlon-in-berlin/

The Hotel Adlon, this version, burned down after World War II but has been rebuilt on the same parcel and is very fancy too. Visit them in real time or here https://www.kempinski.com/en/hotel-adlon
