"Urban Loft Cologne’s no-nonsense name pretty well sums it up — these are an idealized version of the 20th-century artists’ loft, but bedroom-sized, and with views not of SoHo’s streets but of the Gothic spires of the Köln Cathedral. Their whitewashed brick walls provide the post-industrial grit, and it’s softened by parquet floors, pastel colors, and vibrant artworks (as well as handsome subway-tiled bathrooms). Food and drink options include anything from a grab-and-go breakfast box and an expertly drawn espresso to a proper dinner accompanied by a craft cocktail at the straightforwardly named Urban Food and Urban Bar." - Tablet Hotels
