Dom-Hotel, Palace hotel near Cologne Cathedral, Germany

Dom-Hotel stands on Roncalliplatz beside Cologne Cathedral. The 1893 building, simplified after Second World War damage, has a light stone facade with a ground-level arcade of tall rectangular openings behind columns, a "Dom Hotel" sign in raised letters, and five upper rows of windows in stone surrounds under a straight roofline with a low parapet. Since 2019 all but the facade and staircase has been demolished and rebuilt; reopening as the Althoff Dom-Hotel Köln is planned for 2027.

The hotel opened in 1857, making it one of the oldest luxury hotels in Germany. It was renovated several times over the 20th century without ever leaving its spot beside the cathedral.

The site's earlier buildings housed a print shop: from 1500 the Quentell printing family owned the houses "zum Palast" and "zum Hirtzhorn" here, and Heinrich Quentell's press appears in Anton Woensam's 1531 city view. A 1779 ballroom followed, where winter concerts were held, the only larger hall of its kind in Cologne besides the Gürzenich. In 1814 the wine merchant Lempertz is said to have given a large ball for Swedish crown prince Karl XIV Johann.

The hotel sits on Cathedral Square in the heart of the old town, within a short walk of the main train station. Arriving on foot from the station is the most straightforward option, as the cathedral towers serve as a visible landmark.

The site once held the Kamphof, named for judicial duels held on the Domhof and first mentioned in 1169; the building is recorded in the shrine book of 1356. In 1466 the duels were replaced by the so-called "peinliche Frage", a form of torture. The Kamphof and the neighbouring house "zum Palast" were demolished before 1779.
