North Rhine-Westphalia hotels

If you’re keen to see German states outside of North Rhine-Westphalia, then why not visit Baden-Wurttemberg, home to the stunning Black Forest? Bavaria is another great destination, with its picture-postcard castles and mountainous landscapes, or there’s Saxony, which is a great spot for outdoor activities like hiking and skiing. But wherever you chose to explore, you’ll find one of our German Premier Inn hotels ready and waiting for you between adventures.

North Rhine-Westphalia is a great place to do business as it plays such a leading role in the German national economy. The country’s most important mining and energy-producing area runs right through the middle of the state. Many globally important trade fairs take place in Dusseldorf and Cologne, and both commercially-important cities contain many of Germany's largest corporations and world-renowned factories. But don’t worry, it’s not all work and no play here – if you’re visiting with the kids, you’ll find plenty of family-friendly attractions too! 

The state is in western Germany and bordered by Lower Saxony and Hesse, and by the countries of Belgium and the Netherlands.

For many, the region is synonymous with spicy Currywurst sausage, and one of the most popular places to try them is a small snack bar in Wanne-Eickel in the city of Herne, about 20km from Essen. Called simply Die Currywurst, it serves them with ten different levels of spice, and you can even try a sweet version with cinnamon and sugar afterwards.
