... when Thomas H. Althoff took over the first hotel in Cologne together with his wife Elke. Characterised by ambition and high quality standards, Althoff aimed to create a hotel group that stood for excellent architecture, outstanding service and upscale gastronomy. By continuously recognising opportunities and a passion for the hotel industry, Althoff Hotels grew into a renowned brand with 18 hotels in four countries. Althoff's vision was to offer a unique guest experience and build long-term partnerships.
Through the years with our culinary highlights.
In the world of Althoff Hotels, culinary delights take centre stage. With the aim of harmoniously combining excellent gastronomy and outstanding hotel services, we create unique moments of pleasure for our guests. Our philosophy of quality gastronomy is based on a deep passion for fine cuisine, unrivalled expertise and the ability to integrate exceptional restaurants into our hotels.
Above all, looking ahead is what drives us forward and characterises us. Even after 40 years, Althoff Hotels continue to strive for excellence and want to develop further. The forthcoming hotel openings of the Althoff Dom Hotel Cologne and The Florentin are proof of this.
The Althoff Dom Hotel Cologne will reopen after extensive renovation work directly next to Cologne Cathedral. ‘The Florentin’ will shine in new splendour as part of the Althoff COLLECTION in Frankfurt.
Schloss Bensberg Classics, Wine Awards, World Championships, Festival of Master Chefs & much more. Outstanding events, famous personalities and major award ceremonies have taken place in the Althoff hotels.
