The Wellem provides spacious, apartment-like lodging with a aptitude of outdated world luxurious within the coronary heart of Düsseldorf’s Altstadt. This former Hyatt Home property is now a part of The Unbound Assortment by Hyatt and my household drastically loved our keep.
The Wellem Düsseldorf Evaluate
Location
The Wellem is in a historic 1913 courthouse within the Andreas Quarter, inside a brief strolling distance of Königsallee and the Rhine river. All kinds of eating places and bars are simply outdoors the property, making the situation best. And by outdoors, I imply inside a really quick strolling distance in all instructions. Town heart can also be not far.
The artwork museum is only a block away and we loved spending a part of our morning and afternoon there on our second day.
Reserving
This resort is at present a Class 3 property within the World of Hyatt program, which means it’s 12,500 factors per night time. It is a significantly nice deal contemplating paid charges typically run within the €300 vary. I had an expiring free night time award that I used to cowl our one-night keep on New 12 months’s Day.
Parking
We had been driving and upon arriving, discovered the parking storage across the nook from the resort and pulled in. It is a shared parking construction utilized by at the least one of many adjoining residence buildings, however the resort parking space was very clearly marked with indicators overhead.
Parking was included in my keep attributable to my Globalist standing on a free night time award, however usually could be €32/night time.
Alternatively, there’s a U-Bahn (subway) station shut by (Heinrich-Heine-Allee) with a connection to the HbF (most important prepare station) or Düsseldorf airport.
Tip: Simply have the resort valet park your automotive. You’ll be able to pull as much as the entrance of the resort, pictured beneath, and a employees member can be pleased to park your automotive for you. Don’t depart your automotive there too lengthy, although. I used to be scolded by an officer from the Ordnungsamt (I discover it unbelievable Germany nonetheless has what quantities to an Ordnungspolizei, although I assume separate code enforcement officers is hardly distinctive to Germany) to maneuver my automotive instantly once I pulled it across the nook after check-out and met my household out entrance.
Service
I’m unsure how crowded the resort was, however the one time we noticed different visitors was at breakfast, and even then, just a few different tables had been occupied. As such, we loved exemplary service, typically feeling like we had the resort to ourselves.
For instance, I discussed the designated resort parking space above. Properly, once we arrived I missed the indicators and parked within the fallacious place. The concierge not solely took our baggage as much as the room, however insisted upon shifting the automotive himself to the correct location then bringing us again the important thing.
I used to be additionally warmly welcomed and thanked for my Globalist standing upon check-in by the entrance desk and instructed I had been upgraded to balcony suite.
The next morning, service was heat and pleasant within the restaurant, with the hostess giving us two warnings that the buffet was about to be cleaned up (we all the time eat breakfast as late as doable). The waitress was additionally fairly attentive in conserving our dishes cleared and low cups full.
The pleasant employees had been really a delight at this property.
Visitor Room (Balcony Enterprise Suite)
Our visitor room, referred to as a “balcony enterprise suite,” included a full kitchen, restroom, sleeping space, and balcony. It was that balcony that separated this room from a typical room, as all rooms at this resort embrace kitchens. Notice the exceptionally excessive ceiling within the photos beneath.
It’s too unhealthy we had been solely staying for one night time (and all of the grocery shops had been closed on 1/1), as a result of I really like resort rooms with kitchens and we may have cooked up a pleasant dinner for our subsequent nights.
Contained in the restroom was a washer and dryer (combo), which we did use, one other nice function that made this resort room really feel like at residence.
A number of closets offered ample space for storing and whereas the bed room was not separate (it was extra like a big studio residence), my spouse and I had some privateness with a partition dividing the lounge space from the sleeping space.
The newborn slept in a crib whereas Augustine stretched out on the big couch mattress.
Staring out the balcony, it was attention-grabbing to see a number of residence buildings surrounding a big courtyard. These all seemed model new and mark an attention-grabbing juxtaposition to the outdated metropolis which surrounds it.
Kudos to the resort for nice Julius Meinl espresso within the room. The Austrian espresso is featured on Austrian Airways and really tasty.
There’s additionally an iPad within the room you should use to study extra information in regards to the resort or order room service.
A be aware on the counter welcomed us to the room and included some sugar-coated nuts.
Widespread Areas
It’s laborious to imagine, strolling by way of the ornate frequent areas, that this was a Hyatt Home resort, when you consider the cookie-cutter fashion of most Hyatt Home properties within the USA.
I really like the majestic foyer, although I’m unsure the projected art work within the rotunda dome or the purple Lego horse is all that stylish (although I assume it’s hip?).
There’s seating unfold over two ranges and loads of art work to admire.
Have you ever seen a extra ornate touchdown for elevators? I haven’t.
Lounge
On the second flooring of the frequent space is a lounge, which provides free tender drinks, espresso, tea, or water to resort visitors. We sat right here for a couple of minutes after our journey to the museum and had all of it to ourselves.
Breakfast At Pitti
We loved a scrumptious breakfast at Pitti, situated on the resort’s decrease stage. A buffet choice featured recent baked items, chilly cuts and cheeses, scrambled eggs and breakfast meats, recent fruit, yogurt, cereal, even treats like cookies and donuts.
Eggs and confectionary dishes like waffles and pancakes had been made-to-order, as was espresso. A barista was available to make the espresso of your selection and I drastically appreciated the cappuccino and flat white.
Lastly, a juice bar included not solely fresh-squeezed orange juice and different recent juices, however even pictures of a wholesome inexperienced drink (with a whole lot of ginger, which made it robust) or freshly-pressed strawberry juice.
The Wellem Market
Adjoining to the foyer is a small market with extra complimentary tender drinks in addition to snacks and different drinks like wine and beer for buy.
The Wellem Bar
On the bottom flooring of the foyer rotunda is The Wellem Bar, which provides dear cocktails in addition to a day tea service.
Different Eating places
Different resort eating places embrace Frank’s Restaurant & Bistro (the resort’s fancier restaurant), Mutter Ey Café (named after artist Johanna Ey and linked to the breakfast space, however open for lunch every day and serving espresso, truffles, waffles, and lunch objects), and MASH, which stands for Fashionable American Steak Home and, because it title suggests, serves steak.
Health Middle
The health heart is small, however enough for a full physique exercise with model new TechnoGym gear.
The resort has no wellness space (sauna or steam room) and no pool. As somebody who tries to spend 20 minutes in a sauna each day and with a son who likes to go swimming, these are literally two pretty large strikes for me and for that cause alone, I might return to the Hyatt Regency as an alternative subsequent time when touring with the youngsters. Nonetheless, if simply touring with my spouse we choose this resort.
CONCLUSION
The Wellem Dusseldorf was an incredible one-night keep and I might have liked to remain longer. This resort has a lot going for it: an outstanding location, stunning frequent areas, sort employees, an incredible breakfast, sensible room, nice espresso, and several other eating places to select from, plus many extra inside a brief strolling distance.
Even so, I could return to the Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf subsequent time as a result of The Wellem lacks two of the facilities which can be most necessary to me: a pool and sauna. The excellent news is that these two facilities are meaningless to most visitors. However to not me! However I assume we’ll see. I actually do look ahead to returning.
