No longer worry about hotel safety, just check into Berlin's Hotel Adlon Kempinski.

Located at the feet of Brandenburg Gate in the middle of Berlin, the hotel was constructed in 1907 with the support of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It impressed the Kaiser, and now it impresses anyone with a bounty on their head.

Staying in the hotel's newly refurbished Presidential Suite, also means privacy from paparazzi: the suite has two private elevators with direct access to an underground garage. As for those who worry about being bombed anywhere they hide (ahem, Osama), this suite has been designed to withstand outside attack with bulletproof windows, doors and walls.

But it doesn't stop there. Dick Cheney would admire the room's own security hub with video monitoring, power supply, and telecommunications system with secure DECT handsets. The hotel's general manager notes

The need for security and the expectations regarding equipment levels have grown tangibly, and we are meeting that challenge.

Could this be the start of the latest trend?
