Situated in the heart of Cologne, less than a kilometre from Central Station and historic sights such as Cologne Dom Cathedral and the Old Town.

The new "Pigeon Post Bar & Eatery" is the centrepiece of Hilton Cologne's redesign with a modern and innovative gastronomy concept. A combination of restaurant, bar and lounge – with unusual name and funny details as a clear reference to the history of the building. It was a post office in the early 1950s through to the late 1990s. Later, after a long vacancy, in 2002 it was finally gutted and converted into a hotel. This Mediterranean eatery meets hearty Kölsches.Executive Chef Stefan Luxem invested a lot of passion in the creation of his dishes. He was not only inspired by carrier pigeons but also by many other impressions from distant countries. The source of ideas was the migratory bird that flies through the countries and brings the best products and dishes with them from everywhere. Bar Manager David Sasse focuses on spirits, herbs and spices from all over the world while seamlessly combining them with local specialties and homemade syrups that are used in self-flavoured spirits. The team works classically with modern techniques and likes to serve the drinks in extravagant, unique shaped glasses.The "Pigeon Post Lounge" is the ideal space for your reception, dinner, company get together or private events. Besides the new food and beverage concept the Hilton Cologne offers a 24 hours gym, sauna and sanarium.
