Stay
in the Presidential Suite and meet an actual President – or
at least a head of state. During a recent trip to Düsseldorf, the
annual conference of Germany’s CDU, Christian Democratic Union
party was being held at the new Maritim Hotel at Düsseldorf’s
modern airport. In spite of a small mob of security, photographers and
an enthusiastic crowd, guests got a chance to meet German Chancellor
Angela Merkel. Political figures aside the Maritim Hotel at the Düsseldorf
International Airport which opened in December of 2007 is quite impressive
as an “airport hotel”.
Maritim
Hotels is a chain of upscale properties primarily based in Germany,
though expanding in the mid-east, Spain and China. The hotel
chain prides itself on modernity and elegant design. The decorative design
at the Maritim Hotel Duesseldorf reflects both of those goals. The glass
atrium roof of the lobby allows a sense of openness, while protecting
from the elements. While housiing a large number of rooms capable of
supporting conventions and congresses for which it was built, the
hotel retains an intimate smaller hotel feeling. Five in-house bars
and restaurants cater to varied tastes. The breakfast bar in the
morning
offers an
impressive
array
of choices. The spa and pool invite some relaxation time.
The
first character you notice of the Maritim Duesseldorf is it’s
location. Your flight arrives at the sleek and easily managed airport,
you can
take a shuttle the block to the hotel, but more simply walk out of the
terminal with a baggage cart, turn right, and the hotel is there. Perhaps
striking about a hotel in such close proximity to a major international
airport is the quiet. Once inside, you almost never hear an airplane.
The thick doors of the conference rooms remind one of bank vaults. A
lot of thought went into this hotel’s design. An S-Bahn rail station
is within a few steps from the hotel at the end of the airport terminal
for the ten minutes it takes to get to the city’s old town or famed
Königsallee – the “The Kö” shopping promenade
(see Dusseldorf – Rhine's
Biggest Little Village).
Oh,
and did I mention the Presidential Suite at the Maritim Hotel Dusseldorf
can be enjoyed
for
about 1,100 Euro a night, for a truly impressive house-sized
220 square meters of elegance, including a guest bedroom. You could spend
that on a Savoy cracker-box in London. For a family or couple of friends,
not a bad deal. Okay, maybe you don’t need the accommodation
of a head of state or Saudi prince. The hotel has 37 executive and
junior
suites,
and 500 rooms of standard elegance, with a minibar that's such a work
of art you sort of don't want to touch it. Though I don't know if that
was the intent. If you’re
going to Dusseldorf for a business conference you’ll really enjoy
being “stuck” at
the Maritim. If you’re
looking to discover Germany’s North Rhine area, the Maritim Hotel
Duesseldorf isn’t a bad place to start. © Bargain
