With the 2006 World Cup coming up, teams are making their travel arrangements to stay in Germany for the duration of the 64-game tournament. The German team does not have far to go, but will be staying at the Schlosshotel im Grunewald, a 5-star luxury hotel in Berlin. It is situated in what was formerly the seat of the von Pannwitz family in 1914, essentially a palace that was known for its elegance and extravagance. The hotel offers 42 rooms and 12 suites, all with full amenities that include a wide array of personal technologies, from the standard minimum of three telephones and two lines per guest room to high speed wireless internet access.

The largest room is the Kaiser suite, which is fit for a king at 5-rooms and nearly 2,000 square feet. It is furnished in historic, antique elegance with silk sofas and marble bathrooms. The suite runs about $3,600 per night.

I just wonder that if the hotel is too luxarious for the German players to focus on their first duty- playing well. The current German team is not rated very highly like the German national team of 10-20 years ago.
This news is one indication of the fact that World Cup Football 2006 is going to be a good blessing for German economy (http://asianbiz.blogspot.com/2006/04/world-cup-football-2006-good-news-for.html).
