In about a month, I have to go to Aachen for a week of business meetings, followed by a week in Amsterdam with my client. Flying into Frankfurt and training it to Aachen. I realize that Aachen is not a tourist hot spot, but do any of the well-traveled folks here have any hotel recommendations? Client offices are east of the centrum, but I would probably prefer to stay near the city for the after-hours stuff. Client probably won't care too much about the cost, given what they're used to paying out in Amsterdam.
I have a weekend in between. Been to Amsterdam a bunch of times, so pretty much done with the must-see spots. Was thinking of staying in Aachen and jumping to Cologne. Does anyone have any alternate suggestions? Thanks.
