The Hyatt Regency Cologne sells one thing no hotel on the old town side can: the view. It stands on the Kennedy-Ufer in Deutz, on the right bank of the Rhine, and its best rooms look straight across the water to the cathedral, the Hohenzollern Bridge and the old town skyline, which is especially beautiful at night when the spires are floodlit. The hotel is large and well run, with rooms and suites designed for both business and leisure travellers, a fitness club, restaurants and a bar, and extensive meeting space, and it is the natural choice for visitors to the Koelnmesse trade fair, whose halls are a short walk away. For sightseers, the old town is a walk of about ten to fifteen minutes over the Hohenzollern Bridge, which is a lovely way to start and end each day. The KölnTriangle viewing platform and the Rheinpark are both nearby, and the Deutz station puts regional and long-distance trains on your doorstep.
Location and getting around: Deutz station, with trams, S-Bahn and many long-distance trains, is a few minutes away on foot, and the Lanxess Arena and Koelnmesse are close by. The walk over the Hohenzollern Bridge brings you out right beside the cathedral and Museum Ludwig, so the old town is easy on foot. Taxis and the airport S-Bahn make arrivals simple.
Rooms: ask for a cathedral-view or Rhine-view room, which the hotel offers across several categories; they cost more but transform the stay, especially for a short break. Rooms facing the city side are quieter and cheaper. Suites add living space for longer stays and families.
Who it suits: trade fair visitors, couples who want the skyline view, families who appreciate a big, reliable hotel with space, and anyone attending a concert at the Lanxess Arena.
Good to know: prices rise steeply during major trade fairs, so check the Koelnmesse calendar before you book, and book the Christmas market season early as well. Parking is available on site for a fee, and breakfast is often charged separately. The riverside promenade outside is perfect for an evening walk.
