The niu Cobbles (cobbles means pieces of coal in German) is a 145-room hotel, for which JOI-Design has developed a scheme based around Essen’s reinvention from its impressive mining past into a colourful cultural and creative hub. Today, Essen’s former Zollverein Coal Mine, a masterpiece of industrial architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a dynamic cultural location celebrating local art, design and food set in lush green parkland.
International travellers and local trendsetters alike can meet and engage in the open-planned public spaces. These free-flowing areas combine reception, a work and chill-out zone, and bar and restaurant. Equipped with the most advanced ports and high-speed wifi connections, guests are able to work, meet, read, eat or drink wherever they feel most comfortable. In the centre is a buffet, opposite which is a multi-purpose cube island that serves as reception, bar and gift shop.
