During the conversion phase, Carey Property S.L. will continue to operate the hotel under the name of Hotel Cologne Rudolfplatz and will receive specialist support from Steigenberger Consulting, a one hundred percent subsidiary of the Steigenberger Hotel Group.

The future Steigenberger Hotel Köln will offer 301 rooms and suites, a ballroom, seven meeting rooms, a restaurant, a spa and gym area and 110 parking spaces.

Luis Miguel Martín, senior executive of Carey Property S.L. Madrid said: "The Steigenberger Hotel Group and Carey have had a highly successful partnership in place for many years with the Steigenberger Hotel Berlin. We are delighted to be able to continue this close collaboration in Cologne and see it as the basis for future projects of this magnitude."

Puneet Chhatwal, CEO of Steigenberger Hotels AG, stated: "Cologne was one of the very few blank spots on our map. We could not imagine any better partner than Carey with whom to launch the multi award-winning Steigenberger service in this attractive Rhine metropolis."
