Factory Hotel

The old Germania brewery building anchors this hotel north of Münster's city center, red brick that looks lifted straight from the Industrial Revolution. Inside, it trades history for concrete walls, wood floors, and modernist furniture. Beyond the rooms, a pool, gym, spa, and roof terrace fill the complex, three restaurants cover Europe's major cuisines, and two clubs handle live acts and DJ nights. Nine meeting rooms make a surprisingly convincing case for expensing the whole trip.
