COLOGNE: The epicenter of games and gamers

When Gamescom, the world's largest trade fair and event highlight for interactive games and entertainment, opens its doors from August 15th to 19th, Cologne will be the epicenter for games and gamers. Not only the more than 270,000 private visitors, but also the experts experience the Gamescom as the annual climax for the game industry. On the central retail and media platform, many industry insiders, dealers, publishers and developers meet.

Staying close to the event site is practically a must during the fair. For instance in the RESIDENZ am Dom. Here, visitors are offered a perfect temporary home. Centrally located, just 500 metres from the main train station and a short walk from the exhibition centre, the house offers 80 tastefully furnished serviced apartments. Perfectly set up with a fully equipped kitchen and a separate living and sleeping area, the visitors will find all the amenities they are looking for. And for those looking for a rest is taken care of in the fitness and spa center with swimming pool, sauna, solarium and gym.

Others might better relax with a beer. It only needs a few steps to one of the many pubs and breweries. Nothing is easier than enjoying a traditional Kölsch beer and warmly being taken up by the people of Cologne.

Minimum stay for the serviced apartments in the RESIDENZ am Dom are three nights.
