Choice of soft or firm pillows? Sounds like a dream come true (literally).

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).

Fancy a nightcap? Indulge your night-owl tendencies at the hotel bar.

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

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).

Just 500 metres from the Bermudadreieck, closer to the shopping area and even closer to the train station.

Well-placed in front of the 10-hectare Herminghaus Park, with running trails and mini golf.

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

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

Stunner of an 18-hole golf course right next door. Ask about tee times and go spend a glorious few hours showing that ball who’s boss.

Pleasant hotel has an accompanying park and a pretty little lake that are very strollworthy.

Well-connected to the motorways, so you don’t lose time getting to your destination.
