Immerse yourself in five-star elegance at a luxurious castle in Cologne’s blissful countryside, with a Michelin two-starred restaurant - includes breakfast, spa access and other thoughtful perks

  • Luxurious living: Enjoy a taste of the high life at Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, a sophisticated, five-star stay set in the tranquil surrounds of Cologne’s lush countryside. Housed within a former castle, this elegant abode oozes polish and prestige at every turn, from Michelin-starred dining and elegantly appointed guestrooms to superb spa services.

  • High-end dining: The main event here is the dining, with two-Michelin starred restaurant Vendôme showcasing a dazzlingly inventive menu crafted by head chef Joachim Wissler. Guests can expect a host of refined, gourmet dishes, all sprinkled with Jochim’s signature creative flair. There’s also an Italian trattoria and upscale Sunday brunch restaurant featuring slightly less formal fare.

  • Superb accommodation: Rooms and suites feature a delightful blend of contemporary and classic interiors - think plush, jewel-toned fabrics, Baroque-style décor and sleek leather upholstery. With views of Cologne Cathedral, the Bergisches Land or the castle’s expansive grounds, you’re sure to be dazzled, whatever the vista.

How to get there

The hotel is 15 kilometres from Cologne Bonn Airport, taking around 15 minutes by car. Public transport will take around an hour and require some walking.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel.

Bergisch Gladbach

Located just 30 minutes from Cologne’s line-up of Gothic cathedrals, must-see museums and riverside attractions, you can experience the best of both worlds from your grand stay. Fancy something a little more low key? You’re smack dab in the centre of Germany’s Bergisches Land, a mountainous area of natural beauty peppered with forests, reservoirs and nature trails. Don’t miss the Panarbora Nature Discovery Park, a nature-lover’s dream where visitors can lose themselves in the beauty of their surroundings as they travel along 1,600 metre-long treetop walkway, less than an hour’s drive away.


If you're staying over the festive season, head to the Bergisch Gladbach Christmas Market, where you'll find over 50 stalls selling handmade gifts and tasty treats between November 21 and December 23. Find the market hours here.
