Scene
Stylish, modern business hotel that mixes elegance with fun
Geared primarily toward business travelers, the Melia Duesseldorf is a stylish, modern property housed in an imposing tower. The bright, airy lobby has high ceilings and plenty of natural light. There’s lots of punchy-colored seating placed strategically beside marble and dark-wood-panel accent walls, and the elegant, contemporary wooden front desk oozes style. Wide hallways sport modern prints against white walls, and have smart striped neutral carpeting. A fun, colorful personality emerges in parts of the hotel, proving it’s not all about business here -- the sandy, beach-vibe outdoor seating area at the front of the hotel, for example, offers sun-loungers beneath a tropical-style thatched parasol. Aqua restaurant is a warm and modern space, with handsome dark-wood flooring and a chic bar with turquoise LED underlighting. There’s a mix of neutral-toned seating beside floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a street-facing terrace with hanging greenery.

Rooms
Stylish, quiet, and spacious, with lovely bathrooms; higher categories have tubs, coffeemakers, and balconies
The 201 individually air-conditioned rooms at the Melia Duesseldorf are spacious, stylish, and serene across all categories. Comfortable beds have cream-colored fabric headboards and lovely throws, and rest against handsome dark-wood panels with built-in nightstands. Matching dark-wood closets and desks are offset by leaf-patterned carpeting and retro armchairs in punchy yellows and reds. Junior Suites add chic sofas, and cleverly hide desks behind the beds. In Executive Suites, larger desks double as dining tables and offer narrow, unfurnished balconies. All windows open fully, and many have pleasant park or street views.
Bathrooms are equally spacious and attractive with cream and white tilework and underfloor heating. Chic wooden vanities with square basin sinks add another level of polish, and there are attractive walk-in showers; all but Standard Double Rooms also have separate shower/tub combos.
Standard amenities include pillow menus, small flat-screen TVs, phones, Wi-Fi (with free usage limits in entry-level rooms), safes, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and thoughtfully stocked minibars, plus hairdryers and miniature toiletries. Premium Double Rooms and suites add coffeemakers, robes, and slippers, and irons and ironing boards are available on request.
