Welcome to the MARITIM Hotel Gelsenkirchen! Our guests are always astonished at the green environment of our hotel. The MARITIM Hotel Gelsenkirchen is set next to the Stadtgarten (City Park) and close to the centre. Enjoy the elegant ambience and treat yourself to a relaxing stay. The Ruhr metropolis offers a large variety of leisure and entertainment facilities. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the ZOOM adventure park where an encounter between humans and animals is possible without borders or cages. Musical fans can choose from 3 highlights: Buddy - Die Buddy Holly-Story, Starlight Express (in Bochum) or Dance of the Vampires - until January and Wicked - the witches of Oz - from March 2010. There are also many other places that guarantee fun and leisure entertainment such as the Movie Park Germany, the Alpin Center (indoor skiing hall) and the VELTINS Arena, the football stadium of the FC Schalke O4 football club. The coal mine “Zeche Zollverein” with its industrial monuments, once called the "Forbidden Town", has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site and its existence was one of the most important criteria when Essen was declared Cultural Capital of Europe 2010. The area around the former coal mine is a symbiosis of culture and nature and only 4.5 km away from the hotel. About 15 km from the hotel you will find the fair grounds of Essen and the fair grounds of Düsseldorf are within 40 km distance. | |  |  |  | | virtual tour (please click picture) | |
Very handy location.
A little too expensive but the town was busy when we stayed.
