A hop, skip and a jump (make sure to do all three) to the Gütersloh station and city centre.

The local thermal springs draw quite the crowds each year (twice as many visitors as local residents!).

This place isn’t messin’ around location-wise – right in the heart, a 5-min jaunt from the main station.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Primo spot close to the pedestrian centre here in the gateway to Sauerland, just outside the Ruhr region.

Onsite dining means a stellar meal is always at your doorstep. The perks of being a homebody.

Ideal spot between the historic old town and main train station.

Steps from Friedensplatz with its old & new town halls, and the old market cafes. But don’t overdo it – save room for local fare at the onsite Brasserie.

Attractive contemporary stay so close to the airport, you could just wander over and hitch a ride if you want (please don't).

Located steps from biggies like the Konzerthaus, the German Football Museum, and Dortmund U-Tower (former brewery turned art gallery).

Foosball and pool tables in the lounge are calling. (C’mon. You’ve trained for this.)

Sweet central perch. Biggies like the opera house and Florianturm Tower are all quite doable.
