On the city's tree-lined ring with wide views, the Best Western Plus Arosa Hotel, Paderborn, Germany, is a four-star business and conference hotel with warm, detailed interiors, air-conditioned rooms and suites, free Wi-Fi, the new AROSA-FORUM including seven meeting rooms, and the Mediterranean roof garden, the sky-high wellness area with sauna, solarium and indoor pool, and a restaurant serving creative regional dishes.
The city centre and its shops sit within the ring road, with rooftop views over Paderborn and the cathedral and old town a short walk away. Meeting and event space fills the hotel itself.
Paderborn takes its name from the Pader, said to be Germany's shortest river, which bubbles up from some two hundred springs in a park at the city's heart. The towering cathedral holds the relics of the city's patron saint above a thousand-year-old crypt, a rebuilt royal hall recalls the court of Charlemagne, and a well-known computing museum traces the story of the machine. Wooded hills and the Teutoburg Forest rise close to the south.
