each Hotel Indigo hotel is unique to its surroundings.

Hotel Indigo Dusseldorf – Victoriaplatz’s 126 individually designed bedrooms take
inspiration from the local area with statement furniture, luxurious bedding and vibrant
colours. Each floor pays tribute to a different decade of fashion from the 50s through to the
2000s, illustrated through the fabrics and patterns used. Murals, shot by fashion photographer
and stylist Armin Morbach, are visible throughout the hotel, showcasing iconic designs from
the relevant decades, depicting the fashion industry’s growth from the 50s to present day.
Guests can enjoy the city’s glamorous lifestyle lounging in the hotel’s idyllic garden terrace
or enjoy a famous Altbier (a local ale and a must-try in Dusseldorf) in the sumptuous cocktail
lounge. [A]Dress kitchen and bar uses seasonal ingredients to create their fashion-focused
menu with dishes from the Rhine region and an eclectic wine and cocktail list. Guests can
make use of the free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and enjoy their own selection of music
through the iPod docking station in their bedroom. All bedrooms will be provided with a
minibar, 32 inch LCD TV and high comfort mattress.

products and designs.
