"Grand 25" – Our exclusive anniversary cocktail

A cocktail with a pink hue, topped with a frothy layer and decorated with the number "25" in red, stands in a glass. Beside it, a bottle of Brockmans Gin and a bottle of Ruinart Rosé Champagne are featured, suggesting a celebratory theme.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, we are celebrating with a very special signature drink: ‘Grand 25’ - a cocktail that combines elegance, pleasure and history in one glass.

This sophisticated creation by our apprentice Anna-Lena Klare combines the fruity flavours of fine berry gin, refreshing cranberry nectar and delicately tart lime juice with the gentle sweetness of elderberry syrup. The flavour experience is rounded off with sparkling rosé champagne, which provides a tingling lightness. As a festive highlight, a fine icing sugar ‘25’ adorns the surface - an elegant tribute to our tradition and the special moments we have been able to share with you.

Enjoy this exclusive anniversary cocktail from 1 May in our bars and restaurants and raise a glass with us to 25 years of excellent hospitality!

History

Just a few minutes from Cologne, the hotel offers a unique combination of historical charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1703 by Elector Johann Wilhelm II, inspired by Versailles, it served a variety of purposes over the centuries before opening as a luxurious grand hotel in 2000 following extensive renovation. Today, 111 magnificent rooms and suites, award-winning cuisine in four restaurants, including the 2-star Vendôme restaurant, and a unique wellness experience in the ‘4 elements spa by Althoff’ await you. Whether for business events, weddings or private celebrations, the castle offers an impressive setting with excellent service.
