A series of buildings around a courtyard, an easy 4-min jaunt from Kalsplatz U-Bahn station and short drive to the Sea Life Oberhausen Aquarium.

Easy access to the motorway and airport, and only a 15-min drive into the city centre.

Sleek, modern architecture meets warm, inviting decor.

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

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).

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

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

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.)

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.

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