Enjoy the difference in Cologne

We’re delighted to share with you THE NEW YORKER in Cologne, the latest indie property to join our collection.

Drawing on the bashful neighbourhood spirit found in the Meat Packing District of NYC – nestled in the heart of the Cologne’s industrial zone close to the “Messe” Exhibition grounds – this place is a destination in itself set away from the main tourist trek and favoured by the off-beat crowd.

Playful touches offset the “Zeitgeist” minimalist ,yet whimsical styling often combined with the softness of spacious “loft” living.

Keen to learn more? Then discover it here.

Looking forward to seeing you there soon.

As we roam the streets and peek through the Internets tubes looking for likeminded souls and hotels we come across some magical things.  One such magical discovery was Golden Hook.

Paris based Golden Hook is a website where you can create your own custom beanie hat.  Where does the Granny Hat reference come in?  You can choose the real French grandmother who will knit it for you.
