Essen: The former coal and steel city is now one of the greenest cities in Europe. Whether it's the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein Coal Mine, the Grugapark or the Baldeneysee - our modern B&B hotel in the north of Essen is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to discover the former industrial city. Our four-storey hotel with elevator is located at the end of a park at Lichtbogen 1, surrounded by tall trees. Directly opposite, a steel support fragment is a reminder of the industrial era, when the machine halls of the Krupp wagon factory still stood here.
