"A Luxury Boutique Hotel -
unique in the world, designed by axel vervoordt "
PURS, an exclusive member of Relais & Châteaux, welcomes you in the heart of the historic backdrop of Andernach on the Rhine. Our hotel combines timeless elegance with avant-garde design – the only hotel in the world to be created as a work of Gesmat art by the renowned Belgian designer and antiquarian Axel Vervoordt.
The PURS is not just a hotel, but an experience. Here, exceptional hospitality meets the art of subtle indulgence. Indulge in exquisite cuisine in our Michelin-starred restaurant and enjoy the symbiosis of history, design and first-class service. Welcome to a place where quiet luxury and excellence come together. Welcome to PURS.
The historic, listed walls of the Alte Kanzlei form the foundation of our hotel. The building was originally erected in 1677 by the Archbishop of Electoral Cologne as a council and chancellery building. For centuries it served as an important seat of administration and government in the region and still bears witness to the city’s rich history.
Over the course of time, the building underwent various uses and adaptations until it finally underwent an elaborate and loving restoration in 2018. With the utmost respect for the historic building fabric, the Alte Kanzlei was transformed into a unique boutique hotel with just 11 rooms and suites. A new building was carefully integrated into the existing ensemble and elegantly complements the historic substance. The charming inner courtyard combines old and new, creating an incomparable atmosphere that artfully blends tradition and contemporary design.
Driven by a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, we at PURS Fine Hotels & Restaurants are committed to a sustainable future. Our goal is to create a unique resort – a place that not only impresses with exceptional cuisine and impressive architecture, but also with responsible action.
For us, sustainability means combining ecological awareness, social responsibility and economic activity. We create a home that is characterized by hospitality, warmth and respect for people and the environment – for unforgettable experiences today and a future worth living tomorrow.
Wabi-Sabi design is a Japanese concept based on simplicity, authenticity and the beauty of imperfection. Designer Axel Vervoordt interprets this style with a unique blend of natural materials, understated elegance and timeless tradition. His approach creates an atmosphere of calm and harmony – a design that has already found expression in the living rooms of Kim Kardashian, Robert De Niro, Sting and Calvin Klein.
