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

It’s just a 10-min jaunt from Central Station (or even shorter streetcar ride). Easy-peasy, even with bags.

Always fresh coffee and tea in the lounge, plus in-room minibar if you need a little more kick.

Quiet digs set away from the rumble of downtown. But with a metro just steps away, you can get to all the action on no time.

Simple, sleek look emphasizes natural light.

In the heart near the Savoy Theatre, strollable to Old Town, Königsallee shopping district, the main station annnnd the longest bar in the world(!).

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

Retro-futuristic vibe – think 1950s Jetsons glam gone wild.

Modern spot right in the middle of the city.

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

Steps from the Friesenstrasse shopping street. Stroll ’til you see something (or many things) you can’t live without.

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

Don’t be fooled by the blend-in exterior. The interiors are the star of the show here – oodles of art to peruse.

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).
