Get to know Ruby
One of the best things about travelling is the characters you meet and the stories they have to tell. So why not start with where you stay?
From 80s kitsch to haute couture, royalty to reportage, each Ruby hotel has its own unique story and design, rooted in the city it calls home.
And we pride ourselves on supporting all things local, from the food we serve at breakfast to the bands who play in the bar.
Our 24-hour bars are inspiring spaces to meet old friends or new faces, whether you live nearby or you’re just hitting the city for a night.
Dive into one of our dangerously delicious cocktails, take the local tipple for a spin or ask our mixologists to fix your favourite drink.
Got a question about your room, the menu or the city’s hottest coffee spot? Our friendly hosts are here 24/7 to help you make the most of your time in town.
When it comes to connections, you’ll find us in the heart of the city, with top-notch transport links and lots of local knowledge.
After a busy day in the city, each room’s a quiet haven of calm. From the luxurious bedding and big, fluffy towels, to the rainfall shower and aromatherapy amenities.
Behind the scenes, we’ve revolutionised how hotels are run, so all these thoughtful little touches won’t cost you the earth.
Our game-changing Lean Luxury philosophy is all about being smart with space, streamlining and digitising our systems and doing away with the things you don’t need. So we save money and so do you.
That’s why the bar doubles as a breakfast room, self check-in takes seconds and you’ll find snacks and free tea at the Galley.
So, where will you start your Ruby story?
Safe, Sound & Sparkling
Our Ruby hotels are open and ready to welcome you on your next city trip. Guests and locals are free to have drinks and snacks on our rooftops, outdoor areas and in our 24/7 bars. We’ve also made a few changes, to help keep everyone healthy and happy:
- Spotless bedrooms – every room is deep cleaned and disinfected between guests.
- Squeaky clean shared spaces – we regularly clean and disinfect public areas throughout the day.
- Spotlight on surfaces – all touchscreens, handles and buttons are cleaned at least once an hour.
- Covid tests for all of our teams – our hotel hosts and teams behind the scenes are all offered twice-weekly Covid testing.
- Hand sanitiser on tap – you’ll find touch-free dispensers at the bar, at check-in and in the WCs.
- Face masks and screens – for extra peace of mind, we’ve put up screens and are wearing face masks.
- Bars and terraces with enough space – for more distance.
- QR Code scanning - easy and traceable.
- Cashless and quick – we can only accept card and contactless payments at the bar.
Current travel and hospitality policies for our destinations can be found here for Germany, Austria and UK.

New: Ruby Louise
Frankfurt
Named after Louise Rothschild, whose family’s financial empire famously began in Frankfurt, Ruby Louise blends 19th-century elegance with edgy urban accents.
Taking the lead from her genteel grit, we’ve combined the clean lines and soft curves of Biedermeier design with graffiti and modern art to create a true Mainhattan mood.
Rooms all feature our signature Lean Luxury style, the bar menu offers a delicious mix of classic cocktails and Italian-inspired snacks, and for a sundowner, the Skybar is hard to beat.
Frankfurt’s fashion district is right on the doorstep, while the old town and business district are both within easy strolling distance. Hauptwache station is a five-minute walk away, from where the airport’s around 15 minutes by S-Bahn.
New: Ruby Luna
Dusseldorf
Shooting skyward just a stone’s throw from the Altstadt, Ruby Luna’s 1950s building is a towering testament to that most ambitious of eras: the space age.
Inspired by the optimism and energy of the time, the bar features a blend of sleek lines and starbursts, set off by playful pops of colour and bright chrome accents, with a modern menu that includes a healthy breakfast, signature cocktails and late-night snacks.
For curious explorers looking for a spot to settle, the courtyard is a bright, spacious base to set up a laptop or relax with a drink. After dark though, the rooftop Observatory is the place to be, with its unbeatable views of the starlit city.
Benrather Strasse U-Bahn station is right outside, from where the airport’s a half-hour hop with a quick change en route.
New: Ruby Ella
Cologne
Hit the lights, roll the cameras and strike up the band, because Ruby Ella is coming to you live from the Capitol in Cologne. Built on the site of the studio that once hosted Germany’s most popular talk shows, Ella’s roots are well and truly star-studded.
That’s why we’re bringing back the 90s late-night TV buzz. From polished chrome and neon signs to microphones and musical instruments, the bar harks back to those heady days, while plush fabrics and smooth curves recall the Capitol’s theatrical beginnings in the 1950s.
Upstairs, each room reflects our unique Lean Luxury style, with a moonlit skyline nod to the city by night.
Friesenplatz station is right outside, from where the city centre and main station are a three-minute tram ride, and the airport’s half an hour away.
Lean Luxury
Like you, we travel a lot. And wherever we go, we expect three things: a great night’s sleep, a powerful shower and top-notch connections – both to the city and the WiFi.
What we’re less keen on is paying for extras we never use. In dynamic cities bursting with Michelin stars and foodie pop-ups, room service sandwiches just don’t cut the mustard.
So we set out to create the best of both worlds – hotels with style and substance, but none of those expensive extras.
It’s what we call Lean Luxury.
To us, luxury means laid-back comfort in characterful surroundings, right in the heart of the city.
The lean part is all about being smart with space, streamlining things behind the scenes and doing away with the things you don’t need.
This innovative approach saves us and you money, without compromising on comfort.
