| Description: |
A large city centre hotel with an art nouveau façade, the Moevenpick Hotel Essen is located opposite the main station, six kilometres from the recreational opportunities at Baldeney See Lake. The 198 individually furnished guestrooms, with high ceilings, neutral decor and coloured fabrics, all include air conditioning, minibars, hair dryers, safes, direct-dial telephones, satellite TV with pay movies and wireless Internet connections.
Guests can enjoy a coffee in the lobby, perhaps even a sneaky whisky from the large range on offer at Jimmy's Bar, before heading out into Essen to do a spot of sightseeing. Multilingual staff on the 24-hour front desk can offer tourist advice, and public areas of the hotel are wirelessly connected to the Internet. The shopping district of central Essen lies within a kilometre of the hotel, as does the Folkwang Museum. The Colosseum musical theatre is one and a half kilometres away, while the Zeche Zollverein mining museum is five kilometres away. Baldeney See, offering many sports and recreational opportunities, is six kilometres from the hotel. After a day out, guests can dine on local and Swiss cuisine in the hotel's informal restaurant. Valuables can be guarded in a safe deposit box at the front desk, and a meeting room is available for any guests with business concerns. Guests also enjoy complimentary use of a nearby fitness centre, and visitors arriving by car can enjoy secure parking against a small surcharge. Essen's main station is opposite the hotel, and Dusseldorf Airport is 28 kilometres away, an approximate driving time of 35 minutes.
