ngl the real hazard at the ritz is the lobby bar area around 6pm when everyone's doing that networking thing with tiny glasses of champagne. people bump into each other constantly and i've seen someone lose a whole flute onto the marble floor and staff just appeared with a mop and a smile before anyone even noticed. they're way more worried about you being embarrassed than the actual glass
I live near the hotel and walk past it pretty often. The lobby's main issue isn't the vases, it's the low marble benches near the bar. They're at shin height and blend right into the floor. Seen more than a few suited types catch one and do a little stumble. If you're clumsy, just stick to the carpeted paths and you'll be fine.
Yeah the staff are super professional about this stuff. I've heard stories of people accidentally shoving a room service cart into a wall and they just pretended it didn't happen. Just don't wave your arms around near the lobby flower arrangements, those things cost more than my apartment.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
