Hyatt Regency

Frommer's Review

This is the most spectacular and up-to-date hotel in Cologne. It's an architectural triumph: a mixture of reddish granite, huge expanses of glass, and a facade that combines Art Deco and neo-Aztec styles. The lobby is dramatic, with a 4m (13-ft.) waterfall. Rooms are stylishly furnished and come with walk-in closets. Many have views of the Rhine and the cathedral on the other side. Bathrooms have private phones, deep tubs with showers, robes, and deluxe toiletries. To get to the Altstadt from here, you can take the Hohenzollernbrücke, a bridge across the Rhine.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; beer garden; indoor heated pool; fitness center; whirlpool; sauna; solarium; steam room; room service; business center; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
