Hotel Orangerie

Düsseldorf


Ensconced in a neoclassical mansion in a quiet corner of the Altstadt, this place puts you within staggering distance of pubs, the river and museums, yet offers a serene and stylish refuge to retire to. Some of the 27 minimalist rooms skimp somewhat on size, but all are as bright, modern and uncluttered as the lobby and breakfast room.
