Todd:
There is a gasthaus associated with the Im Fuchsen alt brewery in
Dusseldorf. The walkway to some of the rooms looks on to the brewery
(although you would have to be a brewer to know this, the equipment you can
actually see doesn't look very brewery-like). Rooms on the street can be a
bit noisy on weekends, but if you drink enough that won't matter either. I
believe the name of the hotel is Am Fuchsen, although others may remember
this more precisely. Easy walk from there to the other three well-known
altstadt alt breweries.
Cologne: no recommendations although there is a tourist office across the
street from the Dom that can help you find a room and quite a number of
hotels around the downtown area where the breweries and their outlets are
concentrated.
Have fun!
