ROTUNDA GERLING QUARTER COLOGNE 2018 – The Hamburg hotel chain 25hours is opening a new designer hotel in the former Gerling insurance building. About 200 individually designed rooms are spread out over seven floors in the historic rotunda, renovated and redesigned by O&O Baukunst. The futuristic interior (designed by Werner Aisslinger) is inspired by the location and awakens a very special atmosphere. The newly added staggered storey is now home to a restaurant with a unique view of the former Gerling quarter and the entire city.
