There are few better settings for relaxed networking than a rooftop bar with panoramic views, aromatic signature drinks, creative soul food, and laid-back beats. Such a place can be experienced in Cologne, Germany, right in the heart of the lively city with its famous cathedral. To kick off the 2025 terrace season, the "Bar Botanik" at the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne hosted a Caribbean-themed Influencer & Media networking event. And once again the venue proved why it’s more than just Cologne’s most beautiful rooftop bar.
A successful start to the season high above Cologne’s rooftops: Bar Botanik celebrated the start of the outdoor season on April 29, 2025, with cocktails, Caribbean flair, and a relaxed influencer & media networking session. As guests arrived, the rhythms of music and dance group Soaked in Soca e.V. instantly set a summery mood. The terrace opening event was a multisensory experience that created the perfect atmosphere for lively conversations.
Bar Botanik, located on the 11th floor of the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, opened its iconic rooftop terrace under perfect sundowner weather with a brand-new bar menue entirely dedicated to botanical experiences. Bar Manager Ehsan Kasem presented creative cocktail creations, impressing with unique ingredients and visual flair. The drinks were accompanied by soul food compositions from Darrick Carter’s kitchen, perfectly matching the evening’s laid-back, tropical vibe.
"Networking is easier when the setting inspires — and this place does that on every level", one guest aptly summed up the evening. The host of the cocktail & networking event, Alexander Lalk, General Manager of Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, highlighted the importance of events like this for urban life: "Our Bar Botanik terrace isn’t just a spot for creative drinks but a meeting place for creative minds, connoisseurs, and everyone who wants to experience Cologne in a new way."
