Welcome to the
Welcome Hotel Paderborn
Paderborn, the second-largest city in East Westphalia-Lippe, has a special magic. Water bubbles everywhere, the Pader river accompanies walks through gardens and streets, and in the middle of it all stands the cathedral as a proud landmark. The mixture of living history and relaxed city life makes a stay here unforgettable. The name of the city also reflects its origins: the Pader, Germany's shortest river, rises from over 200 springs and gives Paderborn a unique character.
Located directly on the river, our hotel welcomes you with open architecture and an atmosphere that exudes calm and lightness. Bright, freshly renovated rooms, moments of relaxation in the sauna and fitness area, and a terrace with a view of the countryside make your stay a soothing break. You can also look forward to culinary diversity, from enjoyable breakfast moments to relaxed evenings in an atmospheric ambience.
Whether for a business trip, a conference, a spontaneous short break, or a weekend full of culture and nature, the Welcome Hotel Paderborn is your accommodation for everything that makes this city special. From here, the Pader springs, the city center, and excursion destinations such as Bad Lippspringe are within easy reach, before you return to a place that welcomes you with open arms.
