Wasserturm Radolfzell, Water tower turned hotel in Radolfzell am Bodensee, Germany
The Wasserturm Radolfzell is a converted water storage tower that now operates as a hotel across 13 floors. The building retains its distinctive tower shape and rises noticeably above surrounding structures along Lake Constance.
The tower was built in the late 1800s as a water reservoir to supply the growing town of Radolfzell. Its conversion to a hotel took place later while preserving the original structure's integrity.
The name reflects its original role as a water supply facility that shaped the town for generations. Visitors today experience the space as a hotel that blends industrial past with modern comfort.
The hotel sits near the railway station and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors find rooms at various levels with convenient access to the old town and lakeside areas.
The building uses the tower's thermal mass for natural temperature regulation without heavy mechanical systems. This design feature creates energy savings while maintaining comfort across all room levels.
