International flights at ungodly hours demand an overnight stay nearby, and the Lindner airport hotel is the ideal place to hit the hay if you’re taking off or landing in Dusseldorf. It’s got all the charms of a chain, with cookie-cutter rooms and furnishings but it’s convenience to the airport and shuttle service can’t be beat.
Neighborhood: The airport is a 20-minute train ride from the city center and the area around it a warehouse wonderland. Not much by way of sights to see, the hotel is a great place to overnight before an early flight or when popping through for a trade fair.
Nearby:
Kaiserswerth: For castle ruins and scenic views.
Brauerei Schumacher: For the oldest Altbier and a traditional brewhouse kitchen.
Panorama Cruise: For a glimpse at the city’s skyline from the busy waterway.
Time Out tip: There are night-flight noise rules so the airport’s proximity shouldn’t pose a problem but if car traffic is bothersome, ask for a quiet room to the back for a better night’s sleep.
