This is the claim made on the website of the Urban Loft Hotel, which opened in Cologne in October: “Here you are more than a visitor – because we are more than a hotel. We are an inhabitable experience, your temporary home.”
This sentiment is immediately apparent as soon as you step into the foyer.
“WE ARE MORE THAN A HOTEL. WE ARE A MEETING PLACE OF CULTURES. LOCAL. CREATIVE. COSMOPOLITAN.”
The latest addition to the Althoff hotel group blends innovative and inspiring design elements, creating a hub for like-minded individuals. The lounge features co-working tables that encourage interaction, a cozy fireside nook, and a bar offering drinks made with regional ingredients, all underscoring the hotel’s commitment to sustainability. Located conveniently in central Cologne, the hotel prioritises eco-friendly practices.
From the use of eco-conscious cosmetic products to pillows and bed covers made from materials tested for harmful substances, the hotel’s dedication to sustainability extends to a nutritious breakfast rich in vitamins.
HARMONIOUS MATERIAL AND COLOUR MIX
The breakfast lounge, bar, and co-working space seamlessly integrate into an expansive lounge area where local and global perspectives converge. The vibrant and inspiring interior reflects the hotel’s motto.
Architect Markus Hilzinger skillfully incorporates various coordinated materials and colours. The interior showcases a playful blend of coverings with digital colour codes and layers in an open, modern loft, perfectly suited to the target audience as highlighted on the interior design architect’s website.
The attractive combination of materials and colours includes real metal (RM) Homapal surfaces.
The HOMAPAL real metal collection offers decors that range from classic to modern, from bold to delicate, all maintaining high-quality standards. Utilising thinly rolled foils of real aluminium, copper, brass, and stainless steel, a special embossing technique creates unique textures on the surfaces. Combined with a diverse palette of colours and stunning lusters, these real metals provide an exceptional feel, making them a remarkable and hard-to-replicate choice.
