Okay, there’s special and then there’s very special… this hideaway in the heart of Cologne falls into the latter category. I often talk about how a hotel needs to have a soul… this is what makes it stand out from the crowd, and this hideaway certainly does. In this case, the soul of Michael Kaune, which perfectly matches the beautiful neo-Gothic building, the old city archive. Michael was looking for a place where he could bring together his love of design, art and beauty. Not a museum, but low-threshold and everyday, so that everyone can enjoy his wonderful collection of modern design.
