Maritim Hotel Köln - Grosser Saal

Maritim Hotel Koln - Grosser Saal is a large multifunctional event hall within the Maritim Hotel Köln, a distinctive property known for its spacious glass-covered atrium. The main hall with two galleries covers around 1,550 m² and can accommodate up to 1,630 guests in theatre-style seating, making it suitable for concerts, congresses, gala dinners and other large events. A fixed stage, adaptable room configuration and integrated lighting concept allow the venue to support a wide range of productions.

Inside, the focus is firmly on event functionality, with professional presentation and sound equipment, Wi-Fi/LAN connectivity and a spacious foyer where visitors can gather before the programme begins. The two galleries increase the flexibility of the hall, while the hotel's restaurants and other facilities make it possible to combine several parts of an event visit under one roof.

The venue is located at Heumarkt 20, Cologne, Germany. A public underground car park is located within the hotel complex, while the Heumarkt stop is directly in front of the property, providing convenient access to the entrance.

Cologne (Köln), a lively Rhine-side metropolis, is not only home to the famous carnival but also one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for top-tier concerts and sporting events. The city blends a strong cultural scene with major arenas and stadiums, making it an ideal choice for an “event trip”. On top of that, Cologne offers diverse dining and accommodation for every budget, from hotels in the center to practical options across the wider urban area, and visitors often highlight the sense of safety and how easy it is to get around.

A major advantage is the infrastructure: the KVB network (Stadtbahn and buses), regional trains, and the S-Bahn make it quick to reach venues such as the LANXESS Arena or RheinEnergieSTADION. Whether you arrive by air via Flughafen Köln/Bonn or by train at Köln Hauptbahnhof (Köln Hbf), you’re usually only a few transfers away from the main halls and city districts, with clear signage and frequent departures.

Before or after the event, take the chance to stroll along the Rhein and through the Altstadt, head up to the Kölner Dom, or cross the Hohenzollernbrücke for a panoramic city view. In the Rheinauhafen district and around squares like Alter Markt and Heumarkt, it’s easy to find cafés and traditional pubs serving Kölsch—so your stay in Cologne becomes more than just the ticket itself.
