Hotel Palace<br />
The expensively<br />
restored hotel on the<br />
second floor of the<br />
Europa-Center is a real<br />
find – all the rooms are<br />
exquisitely designed, two<br />
of the suites (Zackenbarsch<br />
and Panda)<br />
were styled by the<br />
director himself. The<br />
hotel staff are unobtrusive<br />
and very helpful.<br />
