Hotel Bedrooms at Art’otel Cologne
If I was being very picky, which I am not then you may not like that there is only a socket on one side of the bed only. Also the singles are quite small! Also a little noise is to be expected from the main road outside the hotel if you have a hotel room facing the front of the building. It's also a tad weird to have the sink in the main room out of the bathroom.
A Design Lover’s Dream
The interiors are sleek and modern, with touches of minimalist wall art and vibrant pops of colour. My room? An absolute delight. Featuring ceiling-high windows (perfect for those golden-hour Rhine views), a flat-screen TV a fridge and a kettle.

The artistic vibes carry through every detail, with wall art inspired by the Korean artist SEO adding a unique cultural edge to the minimalist design. Oh, and if you’re curious about the art (like I was), the hotel offers free guided tours. It’s a cool way to dive deeper into its creative essence.
Dining & Rooftop Vibes
Let’s talk about food and drinks because, honestly, who doesn’t love a good rooftop bar? The art’drink bar and lounge is a standout. With a summer terrace that offers fantastic views of the Rhine, it’s the perfect spot to wind down with a cocktail, this really sets it aprt from the other hotels in Cologne.

While I didn’t have time to hit the sauna area, it’s worth noting that it’s there for anyone seeking a bit of R&R. Solo travelLers especially will appreciate these cosy touches; I know I did.
