We've compiled the best of the best in Düsseldorf - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
The hip 25hours chain adopts a French theme with its Düsseldorf property, located in a glassy tower offering fantastic city views. Rooms are chic and homey, with retro-style furnishings, clever design details, and nice touches like a complimentary minibar.
A grand 1913 courthouse replete with marble columns was reimagined as a luxury boutique hotel in 2020. Spacious, high-ceilinged, modern rooms feature kitchenettes and washing machines, making them ideal for longer stays. Those at the back of the building, overlooking the courtyard, are especially quiet.
The original, two-centuries-old Breidenbacher Hof was rebuilt from the ground up to create this opulent five-star hotel, which features a luxurious 6,500-square-foot spa, a fancy brasserie, and a plush cocktail and cigar lounge.
Besides bright, good-size rooms, the true strength of this modern hotel is its location, near the market in the Altstadt. After a generous buffet breakfast you can quickly reach either the Rhine or the Kö with a three-block walk.
Steps away from Altstadt action and the Rhine, this small hotel on a cobblestone road offers simple comfort and a surprising amount of quiet. The amenities are few, but the staff are accommodating and the small rooms are all tastefully furnished. The hotel mostly has single rooms for business travelers, but these beds can easily sleep two people, so couples who don't need much space can often share a single room for a cheaper rate.
A magnificent private art collection is displayed throughout this luxury hotel inside a former monastery that overlooks the yellow spires of the neighboring St. Andreas church. Rooms differ in size and design and are largely decorated in a contemporary style, though some historical suites feature lavish antiques.
Miraculously quiet despite its central location on the edge of the Hofgarten and at the beginning of the Königsallee, this old hotel is anything but stodgy, especially after a major face-lift in 2013. The soaring ceilings add to the spaciousness of the guest rooms, each individually decorated in a restrained, elegant style. The pampering continues at the breakfast buffet, served in the Menuett restaurant, where champagne and smoked salmon are appropriate starters for a shopping expedition on the Kö.
