How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

Why we love it
About This Hotel
Excelsior Hotel Ernst has been welcoming guests in grand style since 1863. It has been in a state of gradual transformation ever since, and now offers visitors a magic mixture of modernity and history in Cologne.
As soon as you arrive in your suite – one of 133 rooms and suites with partial views of the Cologne Cathedral – you could tell that luxury always comes first. Separate bedrooms and living rooms, walk-in wardrobes and bathrooms with Jacuzzis are just a few components that make guests feel like they are experiencing the best of the best.
When you’re ready to tear your eyes away from the beautiful Cathedral outside of your window, take your time exploring this hotel. Don’t be surprised if a wedding party makes its way from the cathedral to the Excelsior Hotel Ernst. The perfect combination of “Cologne Cathedral plus historic hotel” has been hosting happy couples for more than a century now.
Fine dining, health and sauna area, business amenities, a piano bar, and excellent service; you can’t help but fall in love with Cologne at Excelsior Hotel Ernst.
