What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Warm colors, bold graphics, and curvaceous retro-modern furnishings establish a cheerful and cozy vibe, especially in the Kitchen & Lounge, the hotel’s social spaces.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Hofgarten park sits a short walk away, and Little Tokyo noodle shops are an easy stroll south.
The rooms
Studios have woven sisal carpets and framed cutouts of original 1970s wallpaper above the beds.
The spa and gym
The wellness suite holds a Finnish sauna and steam bath, and the gym has a rower and exercise bike.
At the table
Breakfast is set out in the green-tiled kitchen, and the reception desk doubles as an evening cocktail bar.
How it began

The former 1976 insurance office opened as a hotel at 11:11 a.m. on Rhineland Carnival day in 2018.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
