Hilton Dusseldorf

Conrad Nicholson Hilton founded the legendary hotel chain in 1919 in Cisco, Texas. In 1958 the first German property opened in Berlin. At the time, conveniences such as a direct-dial telephone were the ultimate in luxury. Those were the days! Today the hotel features state-of-the-art high-speed WiFi and a dedicated tech company to look after its corporate guests. With 375 rooms and suites and 18 conference rooms, the Hilton is one of the city’s biggest hotels. The five-star property has event space of around 1,500 square metres; the Rheinlandsaal alone seats 1,300 people – who, naturally, will also wish to travel here in comfort. The hotel on Georg Glock Straße in the Golzheim district is 250 metres away from the Theodor-Heuss-Brücke underground station. Trains run directly from here to the Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) and the Messe (exhibition centre). It’s also easy for those who arrive by air: it’s a five-minute taxi ride from the airport to the Hilton.
