Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, Curio Collection By Hilton – A Favorite for Families in Cologne

The hotel offers 88 uniquely designed rooms and suites, each with a private bathroom, satellite TV, and handheld room control devices. The interior uses a distinct glass, wood, and brick design that preserves the original architecture of the 19th-century water tower. Some rooms, such as the Tower Duplex King Suite, include a spiral staircase leading to a loft bedroom with arched windows.

The Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge, Bar Botanik, sits on the 11th floor at a height of 35 meters and offers 360-degree panoramic views of Cologne. The bar serves innovative drink concepts and a food menu that includes seasonal specialties. Breakfast is a highlight, with a buffet that features a self-squeezed fresh orange juice station and an apple crumble French toast option.

On-site spa and wellness facilities include a sauna, fitness center, and massage services that range from full-body to foot and head treatments.
