In western Germany’s cultural hub, design hotels are breathing new life into historic and repurposed buildings.
and the first thing you’ll notice is the late-medieval tower next door. Thanks to painstaking restoration after the Second World War, the City Hall’s Ratsturm crawls with vivid, sometimes shocking carvings; the acts of self-gratification performed beneath one archbishop, among emperors and other dignitaries, shine a light on to the irreverent spirit of this city.
Opened last year, Legend Hotel pays tribute to its neighbour while remaining pin-sharp in design. The Rastrum’s colours are mimicked in the bedrooms, from slate grey walls to sandstoney browns for the upholstered headboards. At 23sq m, the classic doubles make the most of the space with clever touches such as over-your-shoulder bedside lights and desks that hug the end of the bed.
Even the hotel’s Puls restaurant nods to the past of the city — founded as a Roman colony — taking its name from a cereal stew popular in ancient Rome. Two-star chef and patron Daniel Gottschlich’s ‘have it your way’ menu allows guests to mix bar snacks with gastronomic fare, be it mini-Rossini burgers or a pink veal fillet with Parma ham jus, baked sage and a cream of green beans.
Yet, with a location as brilliant as the old town, you’ll hardly spend time indoors. Around the hotel, beer halls brim with Kölsch. And if you catch the metro to Ehrenfeld, you’ll see the street-art memorial to the Edelweiss Pirates: young rebels against the Nazis. It’s further evidence this city’s feisty spirit has endured.
