More than just a simple art hotel, Arte Luise Kunsthotel has been described as an "art gallery" or a "museum to spend the night", since it features uniquely decorated rooms and art installations throughout its premises. You will find from simple paintings on the walls and sculptures, to the figure of a horse coming out of your bedroom wall, or several pairs of colourful boots plastered on the wall above your bed.

Guests staying at Hotel im Wasserturm have the opportunity to experience the historic city of Cologne in a different way than usual. The hotel is housed in what used to be a water tower. Built in the 19th century by an Englishman, the water tower was the largest one in Europe, but it quickly lost its function when the city population increased so much that a water piping system needed to be installed instead. The building was used as a storage space for many years, until it was turned into the hotel that it is today.

Sonnenresort Ettershaus is unusual for its distinctive tree houses, which offer a luxurious yet whimsical stay high among the trees. With modern amenities packed into circular and octagonal structures perched on stilts, these elevated cabins blend bold design with a natural forest setting. Combined with a historic villa and contemporary resort features, the hotel creates a rare mix of comfort, architecture, and nature.
The Westin Hamburg Elbphilharmonie is built inside one of Germany’s most iconic architectural landmarks—the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Located atop a former warehouse, the hotel occupies the wave-shaped glass structure that crowns the building. This fusion of old and new creates a dramatic setting, with curved walls, sloping ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views over the harbor and city. Its location within a functioning concert hall also makes it a rare blend of luxury accommodation and cultural venue.
The Radisson Blu Hotel Frankfurt stands out for its striking circular shape, making it one of the most architecturally unique hotels in the city. Unlike traditional hotel buildings, its glass cylinder design creates a futuristic appearance that distinguishes it on the skyline. This bold, round structure not only makes a visual statement but also allows for panoramic views from many of the rooms, enhancing the guest experience.
Hotel im Wasserturm (formerly Wasserturm Hotel Cologne) occupies a towering 19th-century water tower, once Europe’s largest, now transformed into a dramatic boutique stay. Its cylindrical brick façade and vaulted lobby retain the original Romanesque charm, while 88 individually designed rooms and suites curve around the tower’s circular shape. A glass-walled rooftop restaurant and bar crown the tower, offering panoramic city views and a leafy conservatory feel. The result is a masterful blend of industrial heritage, architectural boldness, and luxury: staying here means sleeping inside a piece of city history.
