The westernmost town in Germany, ancient Aachen is home to one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe, and is known for its healing thermal waters and hot springs dating back to Roman times.

The city is now home to some of the best pampering opportunities in the North Rhine, with everything from saunas to mud treatments and deep tissue massage – bookable on Culture Trip.

Known by locals as “the living room of Aachen” (just don’t put your feet on the furniture), there are great little touches to this already palatial hotel, including excellent service, beautiful accommodation and luxurious surroundings. The spa is something special, too, and the price of a non-resident day pass is surprisingly modest. After some time in the state-of-the-art gym, ease your aching body with a Finnish sauna, steam bath, facial or massage.

The new addition of a hydromassage machine to this friendly, family-run spa hotel is something they’re very proud of, and rightly so. A bit like a waterbed, but with the addition of high-powered jets to pummel the knots out of your back, it’ll do you the world of good. There’s also a Finnish sauna, a steam room (for a small additional fee) and a calming relaxation area.

This four-star hotel, in the shadow of Aachen Cathedral in the heart of the old town, doesn’t have its own on-site spa, but it’s just a short walk from the Wellbeing Day Spa, which offers all the treatments you could possibly need for a soothing sojourn, including full body and scalp massages, anti-aging facials and peels and even specialities such as trigger point treatment, ideal for athletes with specific muscular niggles.

Putting the slick into city slicker, you’ll sure feel like one when you check into this bright, modern and laid-back hotel, just a 10-minute walk from the cathedral. The Uptown Sky Lounge and Restaurant, with romantic old-town views, is an Aachen hotspot. And, just a short walk from your stylish, monochrome-themed room, you’ll find a killer gym and sauna where you can get your sweat on before cooling down rapidly with a bucket of ice water. It’s good for you, apparently.

The Hotel 3 Könige (Three Kings) comes bearing many gifts. Rooms are cottage-cosy, with charming restored furniture, king-size beds upholstered in stylish ticking-stripe fabric and immaculate, ice-white bathrooms. Most come with delightful views of ancient Aachen from the windows, and you’re less than a 20-minute walk from Saunapark Würselen, which offers steam baths, swimming pool, foot baths, wellness massages and a wealth of other treats – just no gold, frankincense or myrrh, sadly.
