As I understand, this hotel was previously the Hyatt House Düsseldorf. I was always surprised to see it under the HH brand.... I could not find an existing thread, so started a new one.
@moderators: please merge if there is an existing thread. thanks.

The Wellem Joins The Unbound Collection by Hyatt in Düsseldorf

Located in the famous Andreas Quarter, the The Wellem hotel marks the first hotel in Germany for The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand

CHICAGO (November 10, 2020) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of the newest luxury boutique hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany, The Wellem, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand. With 102 studios and suites, the hotel was previously operated under the Hyatt House brand and is located in the heart of the historic Andreas Quarter, just a few minutes walking distance from the famous shopping boulevard, Königsallee, and the Rhine river. The opening marks the first property under The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in German-speaking markets and the seventh property to join the independent collection brand in Europe.

The property is named after Jan Wellem, who together with his wife Anna Maria Luisa of the House of Medici significantly impacted Düsseldorf to become the center of culture and fine arts that it is today. In the spirit of its namesake, The Wellem is home to an impressive collection of contemporary art displayed throughout the property and within guest suites, including works from internationally renowned artists such as Jeff Koons, HA Schult, and Julian Schnabel. Guests have access to the hotel’s exclusive private Art Concierge, who can introduce guests to the masterpieces on display within the property and also offer tours at the nearby museums and art galleries including the K20 art collection and the Arts Academy of the city of Düsseldorf.

“As a nod to the art displayed within the property, The Wellem’s mission is to celebrate the individuality of each guest entering through our doors”, said Till Westheuser, general manager at The Wellem. “The hotel offers the perfect playground for individually-minded guests and we want them to create their own story-worthy experiences at Germany's first hotel within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand portfolio.”

Historical Design

The Wellem’s design reflects a unique and sophisticated style paired with a contemporary flare, connecting guests to both the historic and modern side of Düsseldorf. The structure, built in 1913, was originally a courthouse and home to significant historical events of the 20th century. Throughout the years, the building has been pristinely preserved, now creating a thought-provoking environment for guests.

Guestrooms and Accommodations

The 102 studios and suites at The Wellem offer the latest technology with Bluetooth speakers and SuitePads that allow for an easy communication with the reception. Each room has separate sleeping and living sections, with the exclusive fifth-floor art suites offering access to the rooftop terrace. The hotel boasts three restaurants where guests can enjoy some of Germany’s culinary highlights or indulge in the tastes and flavors of the Mediterranean.

The Unbound Collection by Hyatt gives guests the freedom to create their own unique experiences at remarkable properties around the world, whether it’s a historic gem tucked in the heart of Paris, like Hôtel du Louvre, or a spectacular architectural monument such as Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest. Additional properties within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Europe include Hôtel Martinez in Cannes, Hôtel du Palais Biarritz and Great Scotland Yard Hotel in London.

I stayed here once when the hotel was Hyatt House. Good location for me. The rooms are spacious and nice. Simple design. Rates were lower than what is offered on the website now, though. I believe I paid around EUR 165/night.

Then you got really lucky, because usually the rack rate is around 250-300€/per night. As a welcome offer the rates are now as low at 199€/per night.

LondonElite

I must check this property out, as I’m in Düsseldorf regularly.

Axwell D

The location and the property itself is nice. Spacious and newly designed rooms mostly with dishwasher, washing maschine and dryer.

It also has a nice bar and restaurant and the lobby looks awesome with the big stairs. The old charme of the builing is remarkable, because it once was the district court of Dusseldorf.´

Fly Me To The Moon

I have never paid rack rates at any property.

Axwell D

Because of member rates, corporate rates or negotiated special-rates with the hotels?

LondonElite

Hardly anyone pays the published rack rates, unless there is a conference etc in town. The 'published' rate for a room is typically the maximum that can be charged.

Axwell D

But still there is a big difference in paying 165€ and 250-300€. Such low rates are usually corporate company rates. Even member rates will only lower 10-15% to the official rack rate.

Picking a random non-holiday weekend (December 11-14):
Standard Rate is €249
Standard Corporate rate is €225 (10% off)
Member Save More + Breakfast is €195 (it's prepay, but with cancellation up to 24hr)

Would anyone recommend this or Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf? Family of 3 on holiday.

PG.backpacker

Not really related, but the nearby 5-star Breidenbacher Hof left Capella and joined SLH. I wonder if it would also join Hyatt.

LondonElite

No chance it will join Hyatt. There are currently two Hyatt-managed properties in Dusseldorf, and a third is on the way in a few years.

PG.backpacker

I didn't mean that Hyatt will manage that property, but rather the Breidenbacher Hof would participate in the partnership between Hyatt and SLH.

London has 3 urban Hyatt properties with 4 more coming and still has 6 SLHs.

LondonElite

Ah, I see what you mean.
