Intercontinental Berlin or Grand Hyatt berlin:

Intercontinental in a superior room. Should get upgrade to delux room as i am a Royal ambassador. The advantage is the free minibar but it looks like the location is abit out of the way and the design of the hotel looks abit traditional and dated.

The alternative is hyatt which the room looks more modern and the bar looks better but the price will be around 1/3 more or even double (as i have a weekend cert for the IC)

Are the rooms at the ic very dated and can you walk to attractions from the ic- thoughts appreciated- i think staying in a dated room could spoil our stay... but if we got upgraded to their refurbished rooms the ic seems a steal..
