Renovated former brewery (how German!) mixes eclectic modern design with its roots in chic rooms decked out in wood, concrete and felt.

Onsite dining means a stellar meal is always at your doorstep. The perks of being a homebody.

Ideal spot between the historic old town and main train station.

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

This place isn’t messin’ around location-wise – right in the heart, a 5-min jaunt from the main station.

Located steps from biggies like the Konzerthaus, the German Football Museum, and Dortmund U-Tower (former brewery turned art gallery).

Just outside the city centre, with three (yes, three) U-Bahn stops within blocks, and an S-Bahn stop close by, too.

Steps from Friedensplatz with its old & new town halls, and the old market cafes. But don’t overdo it – save room for local fare at the onsite Brasserie.

Foosball and pool tables in the lounge are calling. (C’mon. You’ve trained for this.)

Sweet central perch. Biggies like the opera house and Florianturm Tower are all quite doable.

Streaming your favorite playlists is a breeze with free WiFi.

Pet-friendly, because dogs like Dortmund too. Bring your buddy along.

A hop, skip and a jump (make sure to do all three) to the Gütersloh station and city centre.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

The only 4-star stay in town, it’s an easy suitcase-lug from the main station.
