THE QVEST – An unique Design Hotel In Cologne

Design Contract found an exquisite Design Hotel where neo-Gothic architecture meets modern Design. It is the perfect Hotel to spend a night when you come to Cologne design fairs and trade shows. Lying next to the mythical Rhine river, Cologne’s Innenstadt (inner city) is the perfect gateway to its old town with many places of historic interest and museums, and its younger, vibrant side, only 20 minutes away from the big event sites.

A former historic city archive located on a quiet square in the shadow of the Basilica of St. Gereon, The Qvest in Cologne continues to be an important chronicle, albeit of a modern nature this time. In the lobby, a striking vintage brass and Belgian bluestone front desk greets guests.

With a large part of the hotel furnished with Michael Kaune’s personal collection of furniture and photographs, the spaces form a veritable design museum. Savvy guests can even take home a “souvenir” from an exclusive shop selling the hotel’s carefully curated furniture and design objects.

Generous queen-size box spring beds and original furniture from the 50th and 60th invite you to linger in the ancient ambience.
