Stunningly designed hotel housed in a former water tower in central Cologne
Hotel Im Wasserturm, in the heart of Cologne, really is an astonishing piece of design. The water tower (Wasserturm), into which it has been built, dates from the 19th century and looks like a castle. A leading French interior designer created this astonishing hotel out of it in 1990, as part of the reclamation of the region's industrial heritage. The entrance hall alone is 11 meters high and everything about the place is on a grand scale. Pets are allowed, the hotel has conference and meeting facilities, a good restaurant and all the attractions of Cologne are practically on its doorstep.
3 Reasons To Stay:
High-speed Internet
Close to Cologne's attractions
A really unique experience
Hotel Im Wasserturm Rooms
Guests staying at the Hotel Im Wasserturm have the option of selecting from various rooms and suites, most of which have, for both design purposes and reasons of practicality, been influenced by the geometry of the water tower. For example, deluxe rooms feature cylindrical and circular stylistic elements that fit in with the tower theme, and the original rough brickwork of the tower contrasts starkly and beautifully with the use of light colored wood. Coarsely ground glass is used sparingly to create transparent effects and again contrast with the unyielding, primitive solidity of the old tower. Housing the hotel in a tower has lent a unique atmosphere to the guestrooms, especially in the Junior and Maisonette Suites, the latter on two levels, with floor to ceiling windows on the lower level and a wrought iron spiral staircase leading to the upper floor. All accommodation in the Hotel Im Wassertum, a truncated version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, comes with full room service, while bathrooms are all en suite, with a second WC and tub in some rooms.
