“In my opinion, this property stands out with its dramatic reinvention of a historic water tower. The rooftop bar, offering panoramic city views, elevates the experience beyond the ordinary. Its unique blend of architectural history and modern luxury, near the Rhine and Cologne Cathedral, is quite compelling.”
