Altes Stahlwerk Business & Lifestyle Hotel
Industrial-chic with real bones — exposed steel, raw concrete, floor-to-ceiling windows, and clean modern furnishings. Not a themed hotel doing a pastiche of factory life; the original structure does the heavy lifting.

Why It Matters
Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels listed. One of Germany's better-executed industrial conversions, with two proper restaurants, a day spa named 'Schmelztiegel' (melting crucible), and a genuine farm-to-table supply chain via partner James Farm. The hotel keeps its own beehives and the honey shows up at breakfast.
A converted former steel mill — the Nordische Stahlwerke, founded over a century ago — that opened as a hotel in 2012. The original 1926 'Putzerei' (cleaning shop) hall is the centrepiece: eight-metre ceilings, hanging crane hooks, concrete beams, and original graffiti still on the walls. A glazed steel bridge connects the industrial hall to a newer guest wing with 100 lifestyle rooms spread across six floors.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
L-Lifestylezimmer
From EUR134 / nightThe step up to a proper 1.80m-wide bed makes this the sweet spot for couples. Available with a desk on request. 24m² feels genuinely comfortable rather than just adequate.
24 sqm
M-Lifestylezimmer
From EUR119 / nightThree extra square metres over the S make a real difference. Same clean industrial look, same floor-to-ceiling windows, but a bit more breathing room. Beds remain 1.60m x 2.00m.
22 sqm
S-Lifestylezimmer
From EUR106 / nightThe entry-level room. Compact at 19m² but not claustrophobic — floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light and the clean industrial design keeps things from feeling cramped. Beds are 1.60m x 2.00m.
19 sqm
XL-Lifestylezimmer
From EUR190 / nightThe flagship room at 34m². At this size you actually get a sofa, and the industrial design elements really have space to breathe. Best option for a longer stay or if you want to spread out after a conference day. 1.80m x 2.00m bed.
