What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The century-old courthouse building that now houses The Wellem is nothing if not grand; behind a façade lined with columns you’ll find a vast lobby criscrossed with stone staircases.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the central Altstadt, the hotel sits a short stroll from the Rhine Promenade, Kunstsammlung K20, and luxury shopping along Königsallee.
The rooms
Soaring four-meter ceilings, original contemporary artwork, full kitchenettes, and in-room laundry give these studios the feel of an upscale city apartment.

FRANK’S Restaurant
Tables sit beneath woven globe pendants and sheer drapery inside the Andreas Quartier complex.
At the table
The lobby bar pours cocktails during weekly live jazz sessions, and Pitti serves Italian classics on the garden terrace.
How it began
Dating to 1913 as the royal district court, the landmark takes its name from Elector Jan Wellem, a dedicated local arts patron.
