Feel like royalty for a day in one of Europe’s grandest palaces, which was almost 200 years in the making.

Experience the opulence, artistry and craftsmanship of royal times at the Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace). Originally intended as the summer residence for Queen Charlotte of Prussia, the Old Palace was built at the end of the 17th century and is a stunning example of baroque and rococo architecture. Although they were almost completely destroyed at the end of World War II, the palace buildings and gardens are now meticulously restored.

Enter through the main gates, passing beneath the statues of dueling swordsmen, frozen mid-fight upon each pillar. Have your camera ready to photograph the gilded statue of Fortuna, which crowns the soaring 157-foot (48-meter) high cupola.

Inside, explore the palace’s many chambers, such as the Reception Chamber, with its vaulted ceilings and ornate tapestries. Oriental ceramics feature in the Porcelain Chamber. Listen to the audio tour (included with admission) as you tour the opulent private apartments in the New Wing, which is also an art museum.

Don’t miss a walk through the Schinkel Pavillon, an Italian-style summer villa, which houses artworks from the 1800s. Enjoy refreshments in the Kleine Orangerie restaurant, next to the palace, or book a seat in the larger Grosse Orangerie to see a classical music concert performed by musicians dressed in baroque costume.

There is no cost to explore the palace gardens, an 80-acre (32-hectare) parkland inspired by the grounds at the Palace of Versailles in France.

Schloss Charlottenburg is about a 15-minute walk from nearby U-Bahn and S-Bahn train stations.

Pros •Lovely location! Very convenient and very classy though there are no restaurants nearby. This is not a problem though as you can walk a or take a tram to Alexander Platz easily. •The rooms, especially the bathrooms, are small but VERY ergonomic. The only problem there is the water temperature fluctuates. •The desk is ~5 feet x 20" which is excellent especially for such a small room! •The view is superb. Especially from the breakfast restaurant which is really nice and bright too! •The staff are 99% very helpful and courteous. ONE individual was unpleasant which was not fair on everyone else. •The rooms are clean. Cons •Breakfast is not up to 3* standards. •The Bed is hard and the "Duvet" (if you even call it that) is thin. •There is only one working elevator. •There is no phone in the room. So no wake up call is possible. 3 star should have a phone. •There is no minibar / fridge, in the room so is it really 3 star? Or does it barely meet the requirements? •There is no cafe. •Soft drinks downstairs are expensive so buy that elsewhere. •I was there 5 nights and my sheets were not changed even once. I bathe twice a day so not a big deal but that is not the point. •There is no comfortable lounge chair. Just the plastic desk chair. •Lighting and lighting systems are not up to the mark. •The key card is not necessary for the elevator. Bottom line, it is a budget hotel claiming 3 stars and definitely falls short of that rating. The location however is really excellent.
