Maritim Hotel Köln, hotel in Cologne, Germany
The Maritim Hotel Köln is a large hotel in the Altstadt-Nord district of Cologne, situated directly on the Rhine riverbank. It offers guest rooms and suites spread across multiple floors, along with several restaurants, a bar, a pool, a sauna, and conference facilities.
The Maritim Hotel Köln opened in the 1970s as part of the Maritim chain, which expanded across Germany during the postwar decades. The property has been updated several times since then to keep pace with the changing expectations of both business and leisure travelers.
The name Maritim points to the hotel's position right beside the Rhine, which guests notice as soon as they look out toward the river. The ground floor and terrace naturally draw in both hotel guests and day visitors passing through the old town on their way to the waterfront.
The hotel sits within walking distance of the cathedral and the Rhine promenade, so most of the city center is reachable on foot. The main train station is also nearby, which makes arriving and leaving by rail straightforward.
The rooftop Bellevue restaurant sits high enough to offer a direct sightline to both the cathedral and the Rhine at the same time, which is rare from a single spot in the old town. On Sunday mornings, the brunch there draws a steady crowd looking to take in the view before the city below picks up pace.
