Das Eigentum — Haus am Dom
Haus am Dom is a straightforward 3-star hotel right opposite Cologne Cathedral, so your view is one of the city's defining landmarks. The lobby is small and functional, with a helpful front desk and a breakfast room that does the job. It suits travellers who want location above frills — you step out the door and you're on the Domplatte. No spa, no fuss, just clean rooms and an unbeatable position.
Chroniken von Koeln
Cologne was founded by the Romans in 50 AD as Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, making it one of Germany's oldest cities. Its medieval skyline was dominated by the Gothic cathedral, begun in 1248 but only completed in 1880. Bombing in WWII flattened 90% of the old town, but the cathedral survived largely intact. Today, Cologne is a laid-back, queer-friendly cultural hub known for its Kölsch beer, its art scene and the annual carnival that shuts the city down in February.
