Fresh industriual design.

Near Palladium or E-Werk, Cologne Theater or Kulturbunker – in the Cologne district of Mulheim, a lively, cool culture and club scene has settled on a spacious, revitalized industrial area. In the middle of it all, a new place-to-be has emerged on the site of the old freight station with the Moxy Cologne Mulheim. For the young, urban 222-room concept of the Marriott Hotel Group, a new building with its eye-catching, green clinker facade has been designed and sets a stylistic call sign.

The same applies to the interior design, which was conceived and realised by Brumann from the first basics to the last decorative detail.

Lobby, bar and public area on the ground floor welcome their guests with a modern industrial vintage style. Rough materials and historical quotations characterize the setting: the walls are clad in the weathered wood of old freight crates, the central toilet block is designed in the style of an old freight car, and the technical installations under the concrete ceiling are largely open-plan. In the midst of this stylistic excursion into Mulheim’s industrial history, there are inviting seating areas in a colorful mix of styles, a large co-working table and a state-of-the-art video wall. Meetings in the Plug+Meet-area become a professional pleasure thanks to well thought-out ergonomics, large blackboards and 56-inch screens. And the bar, which opens 24/7, is an attractive destination for guests and Mulheim night owls with its long counter, casual chill zones and well-stocked range of drinks.

After the vibrantly lively style experience of the lobby, the corridors and rooms welcome the guests with puristic aesthetics and calm, clear lines. Delicate pales from the greige spectrum allow body and soul to rest after an exciting day, and the ultra-comfortable, almost floating queen-size beds ensure restful sleep. The light wood of the rooms can also be found in the bathroom and give its simple graphic elegance a natural, warm touch.

Developed with the ambition to set a benchmark for urban, trendy hotels in Mulheim, the Moxy has also set a strong example in terms of project management: the hotel was handed over ready for guests a whole week before the planned date.
