Stadthotel am Römerturm hosts conferences, seminars and hybrid meetings for up to 170 people in seven rooms with daylight, along with receptions, parties and weddings. The four-star hotel stands on Sankt-Apern-Straße in the center of Cologne, a short walk from the Neumarkt and the main station, and has 107 bedrooms for delegates who stay the night.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a city and conference hotel, and its meeting rooms are set up for day events and multi-day trainings. All of them have daylight. Equipment includes a smartboard, Wi-Fi strong enough for streaming, and the Weframe One system for hybrid meetings that link people in the room with remote participants. HEPA air purifiers are available on request. Coffee breaks, lunch and dinner can move out to the sun terrace on the inner courtyard. Three day packages, named after local Cologne sayings, bundle the room, breaks and meals, and a fourth covers conference technology and equipment.
Weddings and receptions
The meeting rooms can be dressed for weddings, family celebrations and other parties, and a banquet folder sets out the options. The Römerkeller, a newer event space, is hired on an exclusive basis. It seats 60 or takes 100 standing, with its own bar counter, a separate entrance, two flat screens, a projector and screen, a lighting rig and a sound system. On the sixth floor, a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Adolph Kolping, who founded the Cologne journeymen's association in 1849, can be booked for devotions and services by arrangement.
Rooms and capacities
Kolping Saal 1 (80 m²) and Kolping Saal 2 (76 m²) each seat 70 in rows. Together they form a 156 m² room for 170 in rows, 100 in a parliamentary layout or 60 in a circle of chairs. The Babilon Saal covers 115 m² for 98 in rows or 57 at parliamentary tables.

History and setting
The hotel takes its name from the Römerturm, a corner tower of the Roman city wall of Cologne that still stands nearby. The streets around Sankt-Apern-Straße are known for galleries and antique dealers, and the cathedral and the old town can be reached on foot.

Drivers arriving from the Köln-Süd or Köln-Ost interchanges use the hotel car park, entered from the street Am Römerturm, with 60 spaces and 9 charging points.
