As the festive season settles over Cologne, the Excelsior transforms into a place filled with magic, warmth, and shining children's eyes. On the afternoon of December 5th, we invite families to join us for a heartwarming gathering where the excitement for St. Nicholas and Christmas becomes palpable.

While the little ones enjoy lovingly prepared pastries, hot chocolate, and treats from the children's buffet, they can look forward to special surprises – for a mysterious guest has announced his visit: Although St. Nicholas traditionally makes his rounds on 6th December, he simply cannot resist stopping by Cologne’s Grand Hotel a few days early.
With small gifts, warm words, and a friendly smile, he will create unforgettable moments. Of course, an opportunity for a memorable photo is not to be missed.

An afternoon that touches both the heart and the senses - for children and adults alike.

Date: 27th November 2026
