Where Porcelain Meets Porsche: KPM Hotel and Residences

0

Porcelain and Porsche – two worlds that don’t seem to have anything to do each other. Yet, the two worlds did come together at KPM Hotel and Residences in Berlin, Germany.

The KPM Hotel is an integral part of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM Berlin), a name synonymous with exquisite porcelain since 1763. One would be struck by the modern and sleek interior, contrasted by the delicate porcelain art installations that hint at the storied legacy of KPM.

The rooms are a continuation of this porcelain paradise. The design was modern yet paid homage to the rich history of KPM. The walls were adorned with modern porcelain art, adding a touch of sophistication to the rooms. The attention to detail is impeccable, creating an ambiance that is both luxurious and intimate.

The rooms at KPM Hotel and Residences also come with a fully equipped kitchenette, perfect for families that wish to explore a longer stay or do their own cooking. It makes the hotel feel like a home away from home.

Guests checking in would be in for a unique experience at KPM Hotel and Residences. The hotel offers an unforgettable stay, marrying the elegance of porcelain craftsmanship with the thrill of high-performance automobiles.

The hotel is located right next to the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin, where guests are able to dive deep into the 250-year old history and porcelain craftsmanship of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin founded by King Frederick II. Not only can you sign up for a tour of the KPM Berlin manufactory, you can also try your hand at porcelain making. The manufactory holds interactive workshops (starting at 95 Euros) in which you get to make your own porcelain piece and bring it home.

The Porsche Experience

For guests who are into more action, how does getting behind the wheel of a Porsche Taycan sound to you? KPM Hotel and Residences has partnered with Porsche Centre Berlin to offer hotel guests a free test drive of the Porsche Taycan. Hotel guests are allowed to take the Taycan for a spin anywhere for several hours – unaccompanied. We drove the Taycan to explore the historic sights and modern avenues of Berlin, including the nearby Charlottenburg Palace. Trust us – at the end of the drive, you wouldn’t want to return that gorgeous machine.

For a soak in nature, the Tiergarten Park that is within minutes of walk from the hotel is a sprawling green oasis perfect for a leisurely walk or a quiet moment of reflection.

Looking for shopping? KPM Hotel and Residences is just one train station stop away from the KaDeWe – the most well-known department store in Germany. You would be able to find everything you need under one roof – from designer wear to gourmet food to household essentials.
