"Cologne's Schloss Bensberg sits high above the city - partly because its creator insisted on his palace being at an altitude higher than the city's double-spired gothic cathedral. And it is glorious."
The Althoff Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg overlooks the city of Cologne. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, it began its life in 1710 as a royal hunting lodge, a “lodge” so vast that it today offers 120 rooms and suites, immense grounds, the ‘4 Elements’ spa, an outdoor trattoria and the two-Michelin-starred Vendome Restaurant.
