What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the hotel was designed to host cutting-edge events, and its bar and public spaces are just as vital to the overall atmosphere.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Former factory halls and the Rhine park surround the hotel. Cologne Cathedral is a short ride across the river.
The rooms
Custom timber furniture sits on parquet floors, warmed by plush red rugs against the white walls.
The spa & gym
Hotel Bar
The illuminated bar shares space with the front desk, serving wine and drinks beside magenta armchairs and yellow curtains.
At the table
Breakfast is served under skylights, where tables sit between teal brick walls and shelves of hanging greenery.
How it began
After living in New York, Cologne architect Johannes J. Adams designed the hotel and its custom furniture himself.

The eight vibes

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.
