25hours Hotel The Circle, Cologne, Germany

The historic building – a 1950s spectacular rotunda originally used as an administrative centre of an insurance company – has been carefully redeveloped; the interiors have been designed by the Studio Aisslinger who conceived an exclusive concept on the subject of retro-futurism.

Center pieces of the 25hours Hotel The Circle are the restaurant NENI as well as the Monkey Bar on the eight floor with a unique view of the Cologne Cathedral.

The 207 rooms are urban retreats featuring differently contrasting themes: playful retro style meets imaginative futuristic utopias.

While the Inner Circle rooms create a futuristic ambience with their open room concept, the light-flooded Outer Circle rooms offer a retro atmosphere. Here, the bathrooms are located behind the beds and offer a charming view over the city while showering.

The bathrooms of the Inner Circle and Outer Circle rooms feature the simple elegance of the Kartell • LAUFEN washbasin bowl.
