Just completed a two night stay here at the Grand after three nights at the Lindner.

Did not show an upgrade on the app before check in but was given a suite upon arrival. Wasn’t very sure what kind of suite it was because Hyatt doesn’t show the room type after check in but it was the 05 ending suit right off the elevator.

the “suite” entry enters directly into sitting room with a sofa and a dining table. The sitting room is partially a triangle. The bedroom is normal sized and the bathroom was large and spacious. Would be better if it was converted to a large room without the sitting room and bedroom separation.

the grand club is on the 7th floor and has comfortable sitting areas. Afternoon tea is served from 4p to 5p with 4 to 5 desserts. Light dinner is served from 6p to 8p with sushi, two types of cold salad, a salad, a soup, two types of sandwiches, and a hot savory pastry. There is also a bread basket, cheese plate, and petite desserts. Things were relatively the same both nights.

the fitness area is in the 8th floor with a relatively nice gym, an indoor pool, an outdoor sun terrace with loungers, and a nice wet area with sauna, steam room, cold lounge pool, and relaxation room.

breakfast was served in the VOX restaurant. Nice spread of good quality eats with a la carte eggs and pancakes/waffles. Great attentive service.

area is not bad with the mall next door. The Manifesto food hall next door is good with lots of choices for food in a nice setting. Mall of Berlin is maybe a 10 minute walk away just past Potdamerplatz.

overall a great property and would return though kind of hard to beat the Lindner at 5k points this year.
