| Description |  |
The Esplanade Grand Hotel, which was once located on what are now the Sony Center premises, was almost totally destroyed during World War II. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the rooms left undestroyed in the building, represented listed historic monuments.
In order to be able to make Potsdamer Strasse wider, the magnificent rooms of this one-time luxury hotel had to be moved. In 1996, famous Kaisersaal went on a computer-controlled journey. The entire hall was moved 75 meters in a costly and complicated operation. Kaisersaal and other historic rooms reopened as restaurants and
venues for events.
