Hotel The Wellem takes a completely new approach to enriching the lives of its guests with unforgettable moments. The location in the middle of Düsseldorf between the banks of the Rhine and Königsallee, the historic location, the impressive architecture of the former Palace of Justice and the passion that only an owner-managed luxury hotel can offer form the perfect setting for this. But it is the ideas that fill this framework that create the image of an extraordinary hotel. A hotel that comes to life through people.
Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz, also known as Jan Wellem, baroque elector, Europe-wide known art collector and patron, popular ruler who knew how to live – who better to name a luxury hotel after? His mortal remains rest in the Church of St. Andrew opposite Hotel The Wellem. But his spirit lives right in the middle of it.
At Hotel The Wellem, everything revolves around art. In its most diverse facets and from the most diverse perspectives, this theme becomes the unique identity of the hotel. Whether contemporary sculptures, paintings, photographs or installations from the hotel’s own collection. Whether as historical details of the magnificent architecture. Whether in the form of musical performances or as the art of enjoying the moment.
Düsseldorf’s living room in the Hotel The Wellem is a lively meeting place with cult character. It combines culture, enjoyment and conviviality in the unique atmosphere of the lobby of the former Palace of Justice. Guests come together in different areas to exchange ideas, relax, enjoy and celebrate in a stylish ambience. Over a glass of champagne at the bar, in comfortable velvet armchairs in the library or during tea time to the sound of a Steinway grand piano: Düsseldorf’s living room offers the perfect setting for very special moments.
Where Hotel The Wellem stands today, Düsseldorf’s first opera house, the ducal riding school and the governor’s palace of the Duke of Jülich and Berg were located from the 17th century. The Palace of Justice, now a listed building, was built in 1913. But the history of the building has even more interesting details to offer.
Located between the banks of the Rhine and Königsallee, Hotel THE WELLEM is just a few steps away from everything that makes the city so unique. Fashion, art, architecture, green spaces, music and entertainment – everything the name Düsseldorf stands for is within walking distance or even in the immediate vicinity.
