The Ritz-Carlton
to explain why they love this city of 3.5 million people so much. The most refreshing thing about Berlin for the business traveller, beside its great hotels and outstanding meeting/ conference facilities dotted throughout, is that when it’s pens down that very cool, creative undercurrent can make a work trip seem just that little more like play. Though the city is alluring throughout the year, there’s something particularly sublime about an autumn visit, all the cosy bar banquettes, the golden light and the locals’ penchant for oversized outerwear, while in winter during those long dark nights there’s one thing that just about everyone looks forward to in Berlin: Christmas markets. So with such a long list of things to see and do, where do you start? InBUSINESS | AUTUMN 2019
