The Best Western Hotel Park Consul Hotel is housed in an eye-catching, 6-storey building with a cylindrical structure and a glass and red brick facade. The medium sized lobby features seating areas on both sides of the reception desk and leads onto a lobby bar, which can accommodate up to forty people. The 199 guestrooms are decorated in rich, warm tones with soft lightning, light brown carpets, leather upholstered furniture and a touch of Italian design. All are clean and well maintained, as are the functional en suite bathrooms. The hotel’s in-house restaurant, “Calla,” is a bistro-style eatery offering an international menu and ‘al fresco’ terrace dining during summer. Guests can also bronze themselves in the solarium and laze on terrace deckchairs, and then enjoy pre-dinner cocktails in the bar. Fitness enthusiasts can work out in the gym and unwind in the sauna. Complimentary newspapers are available daily in the lobby, and bookworms can find reading material on Cologne and other subjects in the mini-library.
