Snippet:
The last thing I expect when I walk into Berlin’s Hotel Adlon Kempinski is to burst into tears. My suite overlooks Pariser Platz and the Brandenburg Gate. Built by the Prussians, this neoclassical monument – topped by Victory steering her chariot drawn by four horses – is now a powerful symbol of Germany’s reunification in 1990.
