Living de Medici Hotel Shuttles

Within Düsseldorf’s historic Alstadt (Old Town) neighborhood, Living Hotel De Medici provides luxury compound living built for lasting impressions. Simple rooms offer colorful accents that flow from the retro carpet to vivid wall-to-wall murals, with some rooftop suites offering knotty pine walls and angled ceilings. A decadent suite also provides massive square footage alongside French-colonial walls recessed and lined with gold, not to mention parquet flooring and chandeliers in each room. General perks of the hotel also include free Wi-Fi and idyllic French cuisine from a fine dining restaurant. Get from one spot to the other by also taking advantage of nearby public transportation, choosing between the nearby U-Bahn station at Heinrich-Heine-Allee, or Light Rail transfers via the Schadowstraße Station. And for intimate self-guided tours, choose from various rental vehicles that include small sedans and spacious chartered buses, also considering meet-and-greet services ranging from luxury limousines great for downtown drop offs or taxis that can bypass the traffic around Düsseldorf Airport.

Surrounded by a handful of parks, museums and restaurants, the backdrop of the hotel is what truly gives the space its recognition. Spend the afternoon waltzing through various eclectic exhibits that range from the many contemporary works showcased at K20’s art piece of an architectural design, to harrowing tales of the Rhine River told at the Maritime Museum’s unique tower-shaped building. Historic plazas are scattered around the coveted real estate of the waterside tower, including Burgplatz and Stiftplatz, each recognized as landmarks due to their surrounding redbrick churches and cobblestoned spaces. For a bit of diversity, escape the oldness of the chirpy district with a timeless walk along the Rhine’s path, either moving north toward the open-air lawns of Rheinpark Golzheim or crossing the striking Oberkasselerbrücke (Oberkasseler Bridge) for fun festivals and carnival rides of Festwiese (Fairground).
