At all times of year, this 12-room hotel’s location beside Cologne Cathedral is heavenly, but at Christmas the market in the square – with a vast Christmas tree at its centre – makes it really sparkle. And close by, another Christmas market streams down winding lanes in the old town. Doubles from €170.
