25HOURS HOTEL
COLOGNE THE
CIRCLE
The 25hours Hotel The Circle is situated just a few minutes’
walk from the city in a spectacular rotunda in the heart of
Cologne. In collaboration with 25hours, the Berlin creative team
from Studio Aisslinger, headed by interior designer Werner
Aisslinger, developed a design concept on the subject of retro-
futurism for the listed building in the middle of the
Friesenviertel district. The spacious main hall, in which once
upon a time policy holders of the Gerling Group paid their
insurance contributions, now has a welcoming café and co-
working spaces for stress-free working and relaxing. The 207
rooms are urban retreats with contrasting themes -playful
retro style meets imaginative future utopias. At the heart of
the 25hours Hotel The Circle are the Restaurant NENI and the
Monkey Bar on the 8th floor with a unique view of Cologne
Cathedral.
We’re absolutely convinced: the best way to explore Cologne is
on wheels. That’s why we’re determined to offer our guests the
city’s coolest speedsters – like the bikes from our friends at
Schindelhauer. Siegfried, Ludwig, Viktor or Lotte will be
awaiting the visitor for a leisurely bike tour through the
neighbourhood. On board you’ll find a tour map of the most
charming routes round the city, curated by bike professionals
especially for 25hours. Guests can also explore the area with a
test drive on four wheels thanks to our cooperation with MINI.
Either select the option when making your booking or just
enquire at reception. And if you fancy exploring the immediate
neighbourhood on foot, you’ll find all you need in the Jogging
Corner.
