The only 4-star stay in town, it’s an easy suitcase-lug from the main station.

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

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

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.

Pet-friendly, because dogs like Dortmund too. Bring your buddy along.

Leave far more cultured than you came, thanks to nearby artsy must-do’s like the Philharmonie concert hall, Aalto Theatre & Folkwang Museum.

Crisp and clean, the décor rocks a modern palette of whites and greens.

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

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

Come for the great location, stay for the design

Nice-n-close to the Mercatorhalle complex, casino, main station and shops (in case you get the sudden urge to buy a new pair of pants – or maybe pjs).

Spot-on location in the heart, near the River Ruhr between the Essen and Dusseldorf Fair buildings (if you happen to be here for an event).

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