Hotel Skada City Cölln

Right in the heart of Cologne — a city-center stay just a 10-minute walk from the Old Town and only minutes from the exhibition grounds. LANXESS Arena is next door and Cologne Triangle Panorama is within easy walking distance. A pet-friendly base for exploring museums, markets and the Rhine-side buzz.

This compact, edgy hotel offers 33 individually decorated rooms with simple, modern touches. Many rooms overlook a quiet garden and come with desks, cable TV, bathtubs or showers and daily housekeeping. Expect a straightforward, trendy vibe that’s more about comfort and location than fluff.

Sip a drink at the bar/lounge, grab a meal in the on-site restaurant and start mornings with a hearty buffet breakfast (served 7–10, fee applies). The hotel provides tour/ticket assistance, luggage storage, a safe-deposit box and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Accessible by elevator and fully pet-friendly — wake up to garden views or step outside to arena energy in seconds.

Wireless internet is available (may incur a surcharge) and rooms include desks for working. Multilingual staff, luggage storage and tour assistance make short business trips straightforward.

On-site Constantin Pub serves guests for meals and the bar/lounge keeps things relaxed into the evening. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily from 7 AM to 10 AM for a fee — a filling start before city walks or tradeshow visits.
