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

Snack, sip German beer and watch Sky Sports in the Kornkammer bar. (Ah, this is the life.)

Attractive modernism set at the airport and minutes from the heart of town.

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).

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

Stellar onsite breakfast is the perfect start to your morning – dine on the terrace with views of the rose garden when the weather cooperates.

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

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

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

Just a 5-min drive from the airport so you can take your time at the breakfast buffet (or catch some extra z's).

Within walking distance of public transportation for easy access into the centre.

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

Just a short drive from the city centre as well as the airport.
