The Gates am Kudamm Hotel is housed in a traditional, 4-storey building with a renovated 19th-century exterior that belies the contemporary interior and its high-tech facilities. The 100 guestrooms – decorated in a smart, minimalist style – feature PCs with flat screen monitors, hypo-allergenic bedding and work desks. A typically Berlin-style breakfast is served in a breakfast room, which dates from 1957. The hotel's "Pasta & Basta" trattoria, located across the road, is a typical venue serving fine Italian foods.
