Welcome to the Rhine metropolis - Cologne

When the people of Cologne speak and drink their Kölsch, carry their hearts directly on their tongues and speak to you with "Leevje", then you understand why Cologne is more than just a city.

More than 2000 years of history have left more traces than just the Cologne Cathedral. On each corner of the road you can discover imposing buildings, modest remains of ancient cultures and countless churches. But Cologne is also a modern city with a music, art and culture scene that is hardly to be found anywhere else in Germany. Full life pulsates here all year round, not only on Carnival Monday.

With its excellent public transport connections, the Hotel Dorint An der Messe Köln is the ideal starting point to discover the city and its very own way of life.
