Hotel Chelsea Jülicherstr 1 50674 Cologne http://wwwhotel-chelseade An artists' hotel featuring "Artists in residence" The roof area has recently been developed in a deconstructionist style by architect Hartmut Gruhl, on top of a rather unpretentious building from the Sixties The result of this is seven new luxury rooms The other rooms are more ordinary and cheaper too It looks like a sculpture on a pedesta Some rooms have split-level, most of them with their own roof-top terrace The oblique construction creates unusual and exciting spaces with wide views from the wall-high cantilevered windows 2001 Hartmut Gruhl Bjorn_Utpott +49 221 207150 mail@hotel-chelseade Location great in pleasant neighbourhood with plenty of shops and restaurants, 20 mins walk through excellent shopping area to the old twon centre and the dome (or 2 tram stops) http://wwwmimoaeu/users/wind229/guides/-cologne/ 6

Museum Ludwig Heinrich-Böll-Platz 50667 Cologne http://wwwmuseenkoelnde/museum-ludwig/ The Museum Ludwig is devoted to modern art from the beginning of the 20th century The highlight of the museum is the collection of Pop Art built up by Peter and Irene Ludwig - the largest outside the USA In addition, the Ludwigs have bequeathed a considerable collection on the Russian avantgarde from the period from 1906 to 1930 and a collection of several hundred works by Pablo Picasso The overall form of the building is a rhythmic east-west saw-tooth roofscape It is divided into two halves in order to create views and direct access from the Cathedral to the Rhine, involving five different streets and squares around the museum The spatial hierarchy continues inside At the centre of the cross formed by the outdoor streets and squares is the foyer, from where the staircase leads to the different levels and exhibition areas The saw-tooth roof allows an explicit northward orientation, giving evenly distributed natural north light, augmented as necessary by artificial light 1986 Busmann + Haberer City of Cologne Naomi Tuesday - Sunday: 10 18 h Every first Thursday of the month: 10 22 h Monday closed +49-221-221-26165, info@museum-ludwigde On walking distance from the central train station http://wwwmimoaeu/users/wind229/guides/-cologne/ 8
