Getting Here

As a major German city, Cologne is well-served by public transport. Here are some of the best ways to get around: Tram - At just a 10-minute walk away, the nearest tram station to the hotel is Koelnmesse, Lines 3 and 4 will drop you here.  Train - The Intercity-Express (ICE) is a high speed train known throughout Germany. It’s a great option if you’d like to travel further afield than Cologne. You can catch it at the S-Bahn train Köln-Messe/Deutz station, which is just 800 m from the hotel. - Köln Hauptbahnhof (Cologne Central Station) is Cologne’s main train station, and just 3 km from the hotel. It’s Germany’s 5th-busiest train station, with around 280,000 people traveling through daily.  Plane - Cologne-Bonn Airport (CGN) is only 15 km away. You can take the ICE directly to the airport’s own railway station. Düsseldorf Airport is only 45 km away, and Frankfurt Airport is just an hour away on the ICE. By car - Cologne is located on the main motorway routes, which makes it very accessible by car. If you have a navigation system, simply enter Brügelmannstraße to reach the hotel.   - Traveling on the A59 from the airport to Bonn, take the A559 at Kreuz Köln-Porz toward Köln Zentrum. Continue along the A559 until the end of the motorway. Stay in the right-hand lane in the tunnel under Kölnarena. At the traffic light, turn right in the direction of Messehalle 9-14. Continue for 500 meters and find the hotel on the right, opposite Messehalle 14. - Traveling on the A57 from Krefeld to Neuss until the end of the motorway, turn left in the direction of Zoobrücke/A3/A4 (Innere Kanalstrasse). After Zoobrücke, take the Koelnmesse exit. The hotel is located opposite Messehalle 14. - Traveling on the A1 from Dortmund to Kreuz Leverkusen, change at Kreuz Leverkusen onto the A3 toward Frankfurt. - Traveling on the A3 from both directions, take the Köln-Ost exit Köln- Deutz/Zentrum. Follow the road to the Zoo Bridge and take the Koelnmesse exit.
