art’otel Rheinauhafen Cologne

Construction began on the hotel in Cologne's Rheinauhafen "docklands" in spring 2008: it was opened in March 2010. Park Plaza Hotels Europe had secured a prime location for the new art'otel. By the end of 2009 a new urban attraction spanning 217,000 m² including apartments, fitness and sports facilities, art and cultural offerings, offices, restaurants and cafes had been created from the Rheinauhafen, a formerly commercial harbour developed during the 1880s on the edge of Cologne's historic old town.

The 4-star art'otel Cologne has 218 rooms, restaurant, bar, terrace, conference rooms, gym and parking spaces. Its location directly on the Rhine and opposite the Chocolate Museum affords stunning views of the river and the picturesque houses of Old Town Cologne. The art'otel includes the turnkey construction of the hotel in accordance with the hotel lease agreement stipulations, together with underground parking and outdoor facilities. The art'otel consists of a 6-storey structure with a 1-storey underground car park.

KVL was commissioned to provide project management.
