STAYTION Mannheim

Mere feet from the city’s central train hub — all puns entirely intended — stands STAYTION Mannheim, the hotel where “music meets industry.” The experience within largely holds true to that motto, repurposing all sorts of pipes and careworn wood and caged bulbs towards a designer’s ode to the textures and patinas of modernity. Colorful and contemporary in equal measure, STAYTION roughs up Mannheim’s smooth edges just enough for the modern boutique flavor to take hold.
