Cologne, Germany
Hotel im Wasserturm
One of the world’s most unusual hotels in central Cologne
A highly unique retreat with superb city views, Hotel im Wasserturm, translates as ‘hotel in a water tower’, which is exactly what this is. The inspired, one-of-a-kind conversion is 11-storeys high, promising unrivalled panoramas from its penthouse Michelin-starred restaurant, a second excellent dining room, a lively bar and a wellness area with a spa and gym.
Once, the largest 19th-century water tower in Europe, the transformation of Hotel im Wasserturm into a chic 78-room hotel was achieved by French designer, Andrée Putnam. Unsurprisingly, the rooms are spacious with expansive windows offering amazing city views.
While in Cologne a visit to the magnificent cathedral is a must. Amble through the Old Town and along the River Rhine walkways. Return to Hotel im Wasserturm and dine in the aptly named restaurant, La Vision, with views high above the city roofs. For that additional wow factor, enjoy coffee on the roof terrace.
