An attraction for every sense: timeless, essentially, unconventional. Behind the walls of a 1893 built monastery the HOPPER Hotel et cetera welcomes you in the centre of Cologne. The once scanty monk cells transformed into comfortable rooms of a 3-star hotel and surprise with the noble design of the modern classics. The interior provides a pleasant contrast to the historic detail of this protected building. Additionally fine works of art add to the setting and feature in each and every one of the 49 rooms.

Room information :

All rooms are fitted with cherry-wood furniture, eucalyptus parquet-flooring and a marble bathroom.

It is a pleasure to be the guest at the former monastery chapel "St. Maria Regina zum Rosenkranz", because culinary specialities with special space experience are served here. The transparent architecture of the earlier chapel forms a delightful contrast between sacral dignity and today's restaurant concept. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, in the summer also on the green yard terrace. As before 100 years this is a place to be, where it could happen, of some unexpected revelations.

Area information :

The HOPPER Hotel et cetera is located in the middle of the Cologne city centre, in close proximity to the Rudolfplatz. There are many restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and shops within walking distance. Bus and railway stations are only a few steps away and you reach e.g. the fairground without changing the tram in approx. 10 minutes.
