Scene
Stylish, modern business hotel that mixes elegance with fun
Geared primarily toward business travelers, the Melia Duesseldorf is a stylish, modern property housed in an imposing tower. The bright, airy lobby has high ceilings and plenty of natural light. There’s lots of punchy-colored seating placed strategically beside marble and dark-wood-panel accent walls, and the elegant, contemporary wooden front desk oozes style. Wide hallways sport modern prints against white walls, and have smart striped neutral carpeting. A fun, colorful personality emerges in parts of the hotel, proving it’s not all about business here -- the sandy, beach-vibe outdoor seating area at the front of the hotel, for example, offers sun-loungers beneath a tropical-style thatched parasol. Aqua restaurant is a warm and modern space, with handsome dark-wood flooring and a chic bar with turquoise LED underlighting. There’s a mix of neutral-toned seating beside floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a street-facing terrace with hanging greenery.
