Hotel that makes every moment matter

Enjoy the comfort of the modern 4 star Novotel Köln City. Just a 15-minute walk from the Old Town, the hotel on the Rhine river is the ideal starting point to explore Cologne. Enjoy free WIFI in bright, non-smoking rooms and recharge your batteries in the fitness room.
