Hotel Im Wasserturm

Exclusive, unique, a one-of-a-kind experience – the Hotel im Wasserturm, international luxury hotel in what used to be Europe’s largest water tower, is one of the most unusual hotels in Germany. Classified as a heritage site, you will find an extraordinary interior design of timeless modernity behind its 130 year-old walls. Designed by the interior designer Andrée Putman, the first-class hotel was opened in 1990 and today presents itself in an elegant style. The form of a tower – it’s a symbol for a kind of refuge, protection and safety that is not confining, but rather gives you a great sense of spaciousness and generosity.
 

La Vision
The Hotel im Wassertum is one of the most unique hotels in Germany, residing in a former water tower, at one time the largest in Europe. Atop the hotel, on the 11th floor, resides the Michelin-starred La Vision restaurant, a truly rare spot in which to enjoy amazing food and unmatchable views of Cologne. Chef Hans Horbeth prepares modern interpretations of classic gourmet dishes like oxtail and fried brill. La Vision is also perfect for those who enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or digestif.
