The Wellem Hotel

The Art of Being Unique

Elector Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz, also known as “Jan Wellem,” shaped Düsseldorf like no other, together with his wife from the House of Medici. The Wellem brand commemorates this and continues the work of the visionary ruler in a contemporary form.

“The Art of Being Unique” sums up everything that The Wellem Hotel strives for. In every room, at every moment, art inspires guests to discover new perspectives on life as a whole or individual facets of it for themselves. With the courage to be original and the power of aesthetics, the boundaries of the familiar are repeatedly and joyfully transcended. As an explorer, the guest enters into dialogue with creative creation and experiences constantly changing, unique moments. In this way, The Wellem Hotel becomes not only the destination, but also the journey to one’s own identity.

Studios

The studios impress with four-meter-high ceilings, an elegant king-size bed, and original artwork by selected artists. A separate living room and compact yet spacious furnishings create a harmonious sense of space. Thanks to modern amenities and smart details, they offer urban comfort at the highest level—ideal for both short and long stays.

A soothing balance to an impressive stay in Düsseldorf.

Art & Culture

Encounter, reflection, inspiration

In keeping with the spirit of its namesake Jan Wellem, The Wellem hotel continues his work as a collector, patron, and promoter of art. Its location between the famous Düsseldorf Art Academy, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and the K20 art museum of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen also makes the hotel a hotspot for culture enthusiasts. Its own collection of originals and limited editions by world-renowned artists throughout the hotel, changing exhibitions, and its own cultural events contribute to Düsseldorf’s reputation as a city of art and culture. These are curated by the hotel’s own art concierge, who is an integral part of The Wellem concept.
