Schmap Dusseldorf guide and map

Dusseldorf, the capital of the Federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen since 1946, has developed into an important political and economic metropolis in the course of this century. The choice of hotels has increased accordingly. Dusseldorf currently boasts over 200 hotels of all kinds and price ranges. During the fair it can be difficult to find a room anywhere in the city, so the option of staying on the outskirts of Dusseldorf or beyond should not be ruled out. Another negative aspect of the fair is that prices shoot up, so be prepared!

Apart from that, it is quite possible to find hotels at reasonable rates. Dusseldorf can offer everything from the exclusive luxury hotel to the functional family-run establishment with shared shower.

Luxury Hotels

The traditional luxury hotels are located in the centre of the city. The Steigenberger Parkhotel is situated on the Königsallee (where else?), a world-famous boulevard with exquisite jeweller's shops and classy fashion outlets like Chanel or Prada.. The Breidenbacher Hof is considered the pearl of Dusseldorf's luxury hotels and enjoys what is indisputably the best location on the so-called Kö. However, anyone thinking of staying here will be disappointed: this five-star hotel has been closed since 1 June and the building has been pulled down. However, a new Breidenbacher Hof is under construction, which promises to be every bit as luxurious and comfortable as its predecessor. In the meantime, don't lose heart: the nearby Hotel an der Kö is open and won't break the bank, despite its location.

In the Old Town

Only a few metres away from the Königsallee lies the heart of Dusseldorf: the historic Old Town. This Quarter's numerous bars have earned it the epithet "the longest bar in the world." The bars are not the only tourist attraction here, though you will also find lots of shops, grand and imposing buildings, and a wonderful walkway along the Rhine, the Rheinuferpromenade. Notable addresses in the Old Town include the lovely and peaceful Hotel Orangerie located near the Citadel, and the Appartementhaus am Schwanenmarkt.

The main railway station is centrally situated and endowed with a striking clock tower. The hotels around the station are ideally placed for transport connections. Plenty of comfortable establishments are to be found in this area, such as Ibis Hotel Hauptbahnhof, and Madison I Hotel.

Near the Airport

Those making a flying visit to Dusseldorf are well catered for by a number of quality (though not cheap) hotels in the district of Lohnhausen, near the Rhein-Ruhr Airport. The Arabella Sheraton Airport Hotel, built in Penthouse style, sits right on the top of the airport's car park 3. The Lindner Hotel Airport offers a high level of comfort and is conveniently located both for the airport and the fair.

Accommodation within the city is certainly more expensive than outside it, but bargains can nevertheless be found. If you don't mind sharing the shower or toilet with other guests, a whole range of small, convivial, and often family-owned establishments will open up to you. Haus Hillesheim and Hotel Berna are good value for money yet centrally located. You can choose a room with private shower and toilet, or opt for one with shared facilities. For young people, the Jugendgästehaus Dusseldorf in Oberkassel offers good value. Transport links to the city centre are also very good from here. Other popular but more expensive locations in the chic quarter of Oberkassel are Hanseat and Hotel Oberkassel.

In the Surrounding Countryside

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, you will find several excellent hotels in the calm of the countryside around Dusseldorf. A favourite address in the recreation area of Unterbacher See is Hotel Am Zault. The Unterbacher See is a haven for yachtsmen, surfers, hikers and cyclists. A leafy oasis in gritty North-West Dusseldorf is the small, romantic Gästehaus Bornerhof in Ratingen, with its big garden, paddock, trout ponds and half-timbered buildings.

Most Dusseldorf hotels include breakfast in the price. Depending on the institution, this ranges from a simple continental affair to a lavish buffet. In some hotels like the Best Western Hotel Eden, you can even get a Japanese breakfast !

Königsallee


Designer boulevard
Königsallee
Dusseldorf, NRW 40212
Germany
When it was built in 1804, the 'Kö', as it is affectionately known to locals, was situated in a slightly run-down area on the edge of the city. As Dusseldorf grew, the street became more central and things really took off after a face-lift at the start of the 20th century. An underground station was opened, the pavements were widened and the street lamps, kiosks and telephone boxes were restored. Nowadays the boulevard is Dusseldorf's number one shopping street and has enhanced the city's reputation as being one of Europe's major fashion centres, but has also lent it a reputation for being somewhat snobbish.

Historic old town
Heinrich-Heine-Allee

Sometimes known as 'the longest bar in the world' Dusseldorf's Altstadt - the Old Town - contains some 200 bars, cafés and restaurants. Despite its relatively small size, the crowds flock here at the weekend, filling most of the bars to bursting point. But the Altstadt isn't just for night owls. Row upon row of atmospheric old town houses have been converted into shops and boutiques offering all a discerning shopper could possibly wish for. Culture vultures are also spoilt for choice, with places like the Hetjens Museum, Film Museum, Stadtmuseum, Heinrich Heine Institute and Palais Wittgenstein attracting visitors from far and wide.

Rhine River Promenade


Promenade along the Rhine
Oberkasseler Brücke
Dusseldorf, NRW
Germany
A masterpiece of modern engineering, Rheinufer Promenade was built in 1995 to help ease traffic congestion in the city centre. With pedestrian and cycle paths stretching 1.5km along the bank of the Rhine from Oberkasseler Bridge to the State Parliament, the street is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll. Rheinufer Promenade has also turned into a popular meeting place, lending the area a holiday-like feel on warm summer evenings. Numerous bars have outdoor terraces—the perfect place to sample an altbier (black beer) and watch the sun slowly set over the Rhine.
