The "replacement lounge" there can be reached in five to six minutes on foot from the station.

 After the reopening, travellers will once again find a DB Lounge with a generous amount of space at Köln Hauptbahnhof. It will be divided into a comfort and a premium area. 
Both areas will have three zones: For relaxing, working and for refreshments. Rail travellers will be able to follow the current departure times on monitors. Flat-screen TVs will provide information on the latest news. There will be a well-stocked selection of magazines on shelves. Both areas will be equipped with washrooms and toilets.  
In the Comfort Lounge, a modern self-service counter will be located in the centre of the bistro area. Guests will be able to enjoy refreshments at tables with spacious seating areas, stools and individual armchairs. High, long tables with power strips and a privacy screen in the centre are planned for the work area. The relaxation zone will have comfortable lounge and wing chairs.

In the Premium Lounge, the bistro, relaxation and work zones are designed to be more spacious and sophisticated. Instead of the self-service counter, access-authorised travellers can expect a service counter with barista service. The size and furnishings in the Premium Lounge at Köln Hauptbahnhof will offer more space and privacy.
