A former historic city archive located on a quiet square in the shadow of the Basilica of St. Gereon, The Qvest in Cologne continues to be an important chronicle, albeit of a modern nature this time. The Qvest hotel links history and modernity by combining neo-Gothic architecture with a curated collection of furniture, contemporary art, and photography. Thanks to the owner of Qvest magazine, Michael Kaune, whose love of modern design manifests itself not just in the pages of this niche art, design, and culture publication but also in his contemporary photography gallery, the hotel is a mid-century and Bauhaus lover’s dream. With a large part of the hotel furnished with Kaune’s personal collection of furniture and photographs, the spaces form a veritable design museum. Savvy guests can even take home a “souvenir” from an exclusive shop selling the hotel’s carefully curated furniture and design objects. The Qvest even offers a small library of art, design, and fashion literature in every room, in lieu of television sets. The hotel’s heritage-listed building was the former historic archive of Cologne, created after a design by Friedrich Carl Heimann. Now, after two years of extensive renovation spearheaded by visionary Michael Kaune, the neo-gothic 1897 property is an archive of modern design. With a careful eye to restoring the building’s historical details, each of the 34 rooms and suites are cut differently and befittingly furnished with individual character. Some of the suites feature six-meter high cross vaults, while the Salon Suite boasts a hand-painted medieval wooden ceiling from 1390. The hotel’s interiors are filled with design classics by the likes of Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe. Taking advantage of the space and scale of the historic building, Vernor Panton’s playful “Living Tower” and stool can be seen in one of the rooms. The bathrooms are furnished with Parisian Metro tiles with quirky details, such as the “Grasshopper” floor lamp by Greta Grossman. In the lobby, a striking vintage brass and Belgian bluestone front desk greets guests.
