Schloss Bensberg is more than just a luxury hotel - it is a place for special experiences. Whether it's breakfast with a view over the Bergisches Land, a glass of champagne in the Salvador Dalí Bar or dinner in the legendary Vendôme: every moment is celebrated here. The spa with its starry sky over the pool, salt relaxation room and spacious outdoor terrace is also particularly beautiful. And all just 20 minutes from Cologne.

Arriving on the magnificent traffic circle of this hunting lodge from the early 18th century is the prelude to a rare vacation experience. Behind its baroque façade, stylish interiors and fabulous comfort await in all room categories. Highly polished oak parquet flooring, huge chandeliers and valuable antique furniture form the setting for 120 rooms, a wellness area with a columned bath and spa as well as a gourmet restaurant with a multi-award-winning star chef. The magnificent building is surrounded by an enchanting castle park with a peaceful café terrace. When the weather is less pleasant, guests can retreat to the cozy lobby bar or fireplace bar. Even when the hotel is fully booked, a pleasantly calm and relaxed atmosphere prevails in all areas, accompanied by perfect guest service from very well-trained staff.

The internationally renowned chef has been awarded two stars by the Michelin Guide and his restaurant is rated as one of the 10 best in Germany.
