Hotels
Sleep well!
405 new hotel building projects have been planned for the next years, creating about 68,000 new guestrooms. As a popular travel and event destination, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) spearheads the numbers, both in existing rooms and planned projects. Over the last months, quite a number of attractive lodgings opened their doors and contributed to the available range, especially in Düsseldorf and Cologne.
On one hand, open hotel concepts for the technologically-affine Generation Y are in demand – urban lifestyle, design, central location and casual service are sought for. That is to say: free WiFi, a cool lobby to work and meet people, smoothies for breakfast and a fancy roof-top bar are minimum requirements. Examples are me and all, the youthful branch of the Lindner Hotels or the motley Max Brown Hotel (both in Düsseldorf).
On the other hand, well-situated baby boomers, slowly approaching retirement age, are lured by style-conscious hideaways. Authentic art and accents of exclusive interior design are the most important unique features here – like in The Qvest in Cologne, in the Mauritzhof in Münster or in the Derag Living Hotel De Medici in Düsseldorf.
Factors like relaxation, deceleration and health gain an ever-increasing importance, no wonder that guests incrementally ask for modern wellness and beauty product ranges. Especially hotels in Westphalia and East-Westphalia excel in this field like the Gut Sternholz in Hamm or the Altstadt-Palais Lippischer Hof in Bad Salzuflen.
Spending the night completely unusual? That, of course, is also possible in NRW. For instance, sharing a bed with Günter Netzer in the H-Hotel Mönchengladbach (coming 2008), right next to the Borussia-Park stadium. Or sleeping in a giant canal pipe: possible at the dasparkhotel_bernepark in Bottrop, the idea of an artist. And for those who need a something even more extraordinary: the V_Hotel in Bonn offers a night in a tree house with a quite modern interior design.
