German term
second slogan
German to English
Marketing
Here is another slogan, which seems to be very simple, but I would not do it literally: Das Hotel für Sportler in Berlin"
My proposal would be: "The hotel where sportlers jump in." other proposals?

Berlin's top hotel for sport lovers
.. where every sportsman/woman is a winner
Does the hotel cater for sports enthusiasts or for athletes? Big difference in terms of translation.

The sportiest hotel in Berlin ...
The sports hotel in Berlin
Sportler is difficult because 'sportsmen', the traditional translation, has become non-PC.
The hotel for sports men and women in Berlin ...

I\'d be a little cautious about using athletes. Although, technically, it does cover all sports, it may sound as though it is restricted to field athletes ...

"Sportler" doesn't exist in English
and wouldn't be understood - maybe something like "Our hotel makes the running in Berlin"? Makes the running = sets the standards for others to match, so keeps some of the sporting connotations)
