Excelsior Hotel Ernst, Cologne, Germany – Review

By Jonathan Spira on 4 December 2011

DINING

Breakfast at the Excelsior is nothing short of sumptuous. The rolls, breads, and croissant were excellent, as were the egg dishes I ordered off the menu. The second morning of my stay, the waitress remembered my fondness for carrot juice with a splash of apple juice and brought it to the table without my having to say a word.

While on earlier visits I had dined at the Hanse Stube restaurant several times with my father, I did not have an opportunity to eat there on this trip. The menu is still French influenced cuisine and I have fond memories from past dining experiences. Both lunch and dinner are served.

BOTTOM LINE

While the Excelsior Hotel Ernst harkens to a bygone era of luxury and style, it is very much a twenty-first century hotel and is the perfect spot for the business traveler visiting Cologne.

A combination of extremely heartfelt and authentic hospitality combined with a staff that seems to be able to anticipate guests’ needs before they voice them made for a very pleasant visit and I hope my travels take me back to Cologne soon so I can enjoy the Excelsior once again.

Willard InterContinental, Washington, D.C. – Hotel Review

As our taxi turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue, it became clear to me that the Willard InterContinental was indeed at the center of Washington, D.C. What I didn’t realize, until I had stepped inside its carefully restored ornate lobby, was that the hotel was central to the capital’s social and political life as well.
Founded in 1818 and named after Henry Willard, who acquired the hotel in 1847, the Willard earned its …
