Aloft

Stuttgart


It looks pretty nondescript from outside but don't be fooled – this newcomer to Stuttgart's hotel scene is a slick, open-plan design number, with lots of retro-cool touches, pops of bright colour and terrific views. Rooms ramp up the modern-living factor with creature comforts from Bliss Spa toiletries to coffee-making facilities.

Tip: ask for a room with a view of the cityscape. There's also a cocktail bar-lounge, a cafe for breakfast and snacks to go, and a 24-hour gym on the 7th floor with a great panorama of Stuttgart.
