The hotel stands opposite the Koelnmesse trade fair grounds, 2.5 km from Cologne Central Station. It is a 5-minute walk to the Rheinboulevard promenade along the Rhine, with views of Cologne Cathedral and the old town. Nearby attractions include the Lanxess Arena (1 km), Museum Ludwig (2.5 km), and the Cologne Chocolate Museum (2.5 km). The Piccadilly Line provides direct service to Heathrow Airport.

“What stands out is its proximity to Lanxess Arena, making event attendance effortless. Design blends modern with practical, from the Brain Box think-tank to robotic refreshment delivery, but some experiences seem inconsistent. The on-site restaurant, beneath its impressive glass ceiling, clearly aims high.”
