A truly unique and inspired conversion of a 19th century water tower, Hotel im Wasserturm’s superbly stylish, modern interior cleverly reflects the building’s origins. So unusual, this is a one-off experience with spacious accommodation, a penthouse Michelin-starred restaurant with panoramic views, a relaxing bar and sauna.

First impressions are startling. Enter the imposing 11-storey entrance hall and this place really has the wow factor. Sharp, contemporary design by Andrée Putman masterfully blends curved walls with modern, cylindrical furniture, original brickwork, light wood and catwalks that overlook the hall. The rooms and suites are generously sized, ultra-modern, elegant and serene.

The Hotel im Wasserturm was remodeled in 2007 and has an extraordinary interior design of timeless modernity behind 130 years old walls. Standards of comfort and luxury excel. The Hotel offers 78 rooms on 10 guest floors, distributed in 39 non-smoking and 19 connecting rooms.
