Sony Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sony Center is a building complex located at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. The Sony Center was designed by Helmut Jahn and construction was completed in 2000 at a total cost of US$800M. It contains a mix of shops, restaurants, a conference center, hotel rooms, luxurious rented suites and condominiums, offices, art and film museums, movie theaters, an IMAX theater, and a "Sony Style" store much like the one in San Francisco. Free Wi-Fi connections are available for all visitors. During the 2006 Weltmeisterschaft (World Cup), the center also had a large television screen on which the games were broadcasted to viewers sitting in the large open area in the middle.
The Sony Center is convienently located near the Potsdamerplatz Bahnhof for easy walking accessibility. A large mall is nearby, as is a myriad of hotels, the Deutsche Bahn central offices, and an office building featuring the fastest elevator in Europe.
The corporate sponsor of the Sony Center is (understandably) Sony.
