THE PICK OF THE HOTELS
AROUND THE CITY
1. THE FRITZ HOTEL
This city-centre, three-star
design hotel has 31 minimalist-
chic rooms decorated in cool
greys and whites, brightened
with subtle patterns and
graphic elements. Modern
bathrooms, separated from
sleeping areas by frosted
glass panels, have rainforest
showers and Codage Paris
products. A real treat is the
Michelin-starred Fritz’s Frau
Franzi restaurant, where you
can feast on seasonal dishes in
a stylish setting.
For foodies
WHERE TO EAT IN THE CITY
4. BOB & MARY
The story goes that owners
Bob and Mary spent over 18
months travelling halfway
around the world to bring the
perfect burger to Düsseldorf.
The result is prime beef with
the inclusion of roast beef in
the patties, seasoned with
Murray River salt and aromatic
Tellicherry pepper, medium
grilled and served in fluffy
brioche buns. Besides juicy
burgers, you can also enjoy
crispy salads, sesame chicken
and fresh-fruit desserts.
2. HOTEL ORANGERIE
This small, historic hotel is
housed in a classic villa
in Düsseldorf’s Old Town,
just 60 metres from the
Rhine Promenade. It has 27
simply-decorated rooms,
and breakfast is courtesy
of a generous buffet. It’s
a peaceful and quiet
location, but you’re close
to the Speescher Palais, the
Maxkirche and Citadelstrasse
on the Medici-Platz.
3. MAX BROWN MIDTOWN
Boutique bed-and-breakfast
hotel Max Brown Midtown is
in the heart of Düsseldorf’s
Japanese Quarter, close to
the Old Town. The lobby sets
the scene, with palm-print
wallpaper, a copper-tiled
ceiling, vintage furnishings,
board games and a billiard
table. Modern, white-walled
rooms have high-quality box-
spring beds with Max Brown
signature mattresses and
linens, a Crosley record player
and pop-art prints.
5. SCHWEINE JANES
Huge portions are the order
of the day at Schweine
Janes: grilled leg of pork,
roasted pork, pork liver,
wiener schnitzel, pork kebab,
and that’s just a tiny part of
the menu. Specialities are
Schweine Brötchen, chunks
of breaded pork on a soft roll,
and Schweinehaxe, succulent
pork knuckle roasted on a
spit and served with potatoes
and sauerkraut. For something
lighter, order currywurst or
bratwurst on a bun.

6. DORFSTUBE
Delightful Dorfstube has rustic
wooden furniture, a grand tiled
stove and decorative kitchen
utensils, and aims to bring the
flavour of the Black Forest to
Düsseldorf. Try Flädlesuppe
(pancake soup), Veal Escalope
in Cream Sauce, Swabian
Maultäschle (pasta stuffed
with minced and smoked
meats and spinach), Hot-
Smoked Trout with Apple and
Leek Vinaigrette...
