The Excelsior Stollen: A Christmas tradition, treasured for generations! 🎄✨

For generations, the recipe for our famous Excelsior Stollen has been carefully preserved in the hotel's historic safe. Every September, Managing Director Georg Plesser retrieves this treasured family recipe and passes it on to our pastry team. Crafted with the finest ingredients and great attention to detail, each Stollen carries a piece of Excelsior history and the taste of a cherished Christmas tradition. And there's more to this tradition than its delicious taste: for every Stollen sold, we donate one Euro to "wir helfen e.V.", supporting children and young people in need throughout the Cologne region. 🗝️

Our Excelsior Stollen is now available for pre-order, with shipping and collection starting on 16th November 2026. You can also find it at our hotel reception and at booth no. 24 at the Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market. 🎄

Order your piece of tradition today! Check out website for more details. 🌟
