Why It Matters
Home to FALCO, the only two-Michelin-star restaurant in eastern Germany, helmed by chef Peter Maria Schnurr. Also claims Leipzig's largest hotel swimming pool. The building itself is a piece of GDR history, originally built for the Leipzig Spring Trade Fair in 1981.
A brutalist 27-floor tower that opened in 1981 as the Interhotel Merkur — one of East Germany's most prestigious hotels — The Westin Leipzig has shed its Soviet-era identity and emerged as a sleek, well-run luxury property. The building's '70s exterior doesn't lie, but step through the lobby and it's a different world: polished, contemporary, and loaded with amenities. The big draw is FALCO, a two-Michelin-star restaurant on the 27th floor that ranks among the finest in all of eastern Germany.
