An early flight to Frankfurt and a busy day and half spent at IMEX Frankfurt meeting up with old and new suppliers.  Hosted by Ritz Carlton along with a great group of hosted buyers from Zibrant, W&O Events, Emu Events and Grassroots we knew we were in for an informative adn eventful few days.   
A relaxed reception and BBQ was held at the MANTIS Roofgarden. A fun night of amazing food, great company and networking with Ritz Carlton Sales Managers from across the globe.

Following a morning of meetings at IMEX, we boarded the ICE train for a four hour journey from Frankfurt to Berlin travelling first class.  Three hours was spent playing an addictive card game, before a surprise visit by the Sales team at Ritz Carlton Wolfburg as they jumped on board to deliver treats and a very relaxing hand massage for the last hour of the journey!

Our trip was mainly combined of seeing two great properties – The Ritz Carlton and the Marriott Berlin (with a spot of sightseeing).The Ritz Carlton is a beautiful five star hotel located on Potzdammer Platz, there are 303 rooms and a stunning ballroom accommodating up to 750 delegates theatre style.  Five smaller meeting rooms offer great space for private dining or syndicate rooms. We were all blown away by the hotel's Apartment which is a totally different design to the rest of the hotel with the added bonus of being totally secure.  The restaurant offers a varied buffet breakfast, eggs benedict and chocolate crepes being a favourite! Dinner was also delicious with a variety of dishes from pike, risotto and creamy goat’s cheese and beetroot salad.

The Marriott Berlin
The Marriott Berlin is located just next door to the Ritz Carlton and the two hotels work very closely together to share meeting and bedroom space.  The Marriott Berlin is Europe’s flagship hotel, and has been recently renovated to a very high standard.  With 380 bedrooms and a pillar free ballroom accommodating up to
600 delegates theatre style plus eight additional meeting rooms, it's is a great option. The Midtown Grill
is renowned for its steak and it would’ve been rude not to try the huge slice of cheese cake! We had to try The Catwalk Bar for an after dinner drink – a stylish, yet relaxed cocktail bar serving a mean Old Cuban.

Thursday morning, the sun came out just in time for our Segway tour of Berlin.  

After a short briefing off we went, zooming off through the city's streets for an exhilarating and very informative tour around Potzdammer Platz, the site of Hitler’s bunker, Brandenburg Gate, the Parliament buildings and a lovely stretch along the river before ending with a relaxed late lunch in the Tiergarten.




Many thanks to Ines Forner (Ritz Carlton Regional Group Sales Manager), Dennis Pawelczyk  (Ritz Carlton Berlin Sales Manager) and Germany Insight DMC for hosting and taking time out of their busy event schedule to look after us and show us a little of what Berlin has to offer. We can’t wait to go back!
