"All good ideas arrive by chance" – Max Ernst
From the unbeatable location of your hotel on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne’s historic old town, there’s no element of chance in the attractions you visit first: the ancient Cologne Cathedral and the world-class Ludwig Museum. But there’s much more to this fascinating area. As you wander the narrow streets, you will be delighted by chance finds of wonderful architectural vistas, cosy little beer cellars and a warm welcome in every haunt you stumble upon.
"I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery" – Stockhausen
The great composer’s innovative spirit would have delighted in experiencing the Hotel Mondial Am Dom Cologne MGallery By Sofitel ****. From the boutique comforts of an elegantly furnished Classic, Superior or Large Deluxe Room, he could set out to discover the fitness and well-being centre, luxuriate in the sauna or hammam or enjoy a refreshing drink from the terrace, mesmerised by the cathedral spires casting their shadows over the city. More discoveries await in the Reissdorf Im Mondial Restaurant, where regional dishes and an impressive range of craft beers are served in the inventive ambience of a modern Cologne brewery.
As a present-day adventurer, you can immerse yourself in the thrills of the city’s legendary shopping streets clustered in the area and reward your enterprising spirit with a visit to another of Cologne’s most tempting highlights: a chocolatier. Don’t leave this one to chance.
