Essential by Dorint Remscheid

In Remscheid’s Bergisches Land — a 4-star hotel base between Düsseldorf and Cologne, with fast links to Wuppertal and Solingen. You’re minutes by car from Remscheid Rathausplatz and Eschbach Dam, and close to sights like the Müngsten Bridge, Röntgen Museum and Blankenstein Castle. Right next to a wildlife and nature sanctuary for easy outdoor escapes.

116 modern rooms with simple, contemporary décor — some air-conditioned — and essentials like showers, hair dryers and satellite TV. Family-friendly touches include complimentary cribs/infant beds and rollaway beds on request (surcharge). The lobby’s cozy fireplace, terrace and bistro give the place a relaxed Mediterranean-meets-local vibe.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. Wellness options include indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, solarium, massage room and a fitness center. There’s a library, some on-site shopping and a fireplace lounge. On-site parking for 80+ vehicles and a tour desk make road trips and day excursions easy.

Conference and meeting facilities with roughly 224 m² of event space—room setups for up to about 120 guests. Business center on site and fast wired/wireless internet for smooth meetings and presentations.

On-site Mediterranean-style restaurant and terrace, plus a bistro and bar/lounge. Buffet breakfast is served daily (fee), with limited room service hours. Menus blend regional Bergisch specialties (think Bergisches Krüstchen, Kottenbutter) with international dishes, and the bar pours regional beers and seasonal wines.
