 "Eye-catching modern architecture and a huge atrium distinguish this smart chain hotel on the south side of Heumarkt. It’s also one of the city’s most gay-friendly. €124." 
 "This hotel is by the Deutz bridge at the edge of the old town. In the airy tall glass-roofed foyer there are various shops, and a good selection of cigars and whiskies in the Piano Bar."

Top choice
 "This dazzling alchemy of historical setting and up-to-the-minute design touches is hidden within the neo-Gothic ribbed vaults and stone pillars of the former city archives" Full review
 "Qvest is something of a design museum...the 34 rooms and suites benefit tremendously from the organic layout, each featuring an exhibit’s worth of individually curated artwork." Full review
