By Plane to Düsseldorf

You want to fly into Düsseldorf Airport (DUS)

Attention: Make sure to fly to Düsseldorf Airport (“Flughafen Düsseldorf”) with the airport code DUS and not the Airport “Niederrhein” that is sometimes shown as Airport “Düsseldorf Niederrhein” with the airport code NRN.

On the Düsseldorf Airport website, you can find information on flights, services, and further passenger information. An Airport Map as PDF is online too.

Once you have passed through security and customs, you will be on level 0. The best way to reach the hotel is to take the exit near the REWE supermarket on level 1 in Pier C, and then follow the covered pedestrian bridge/pathway.

After landing at DUS Airport, it is a short walk to Maritim Hotel:
  • As you exit customs you will arrive in the arrivals hall.
  • Stay on the same level, turn right, and walk all the way to the far end of the airport building where you will see a "REWE" supermarket.
  • Just before you reach the "REWE" supermarket, take the doors on your left to exit the terminal building.
  • Once outside, turn right and follow the red signs to the Maritim Hotel to reach its main entrance next to the hotel reception.

Alternatively, you can:
  • Go up one level to the departure area
  • Head in the same direction as indicated above – that is towards “check-in 272”.
  • Exit the building next to check-in 272, turn right and follow the red signs to the Maritim Hotel.
  • You’ll reach the hotel via a footbridge that brings you to the conference level.
  • The reception is one level down.

By Plane via Frankfurt or any other airport

You might want to consider flying to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and taking the train from there to Düsseldorf Main Station.

This option may offer you a wider choice of possible flights, or cheaper ones.

If you are considering this option, you want to check whether you can book the train ticket when booking your flight so that you don't have to worry about that ticket upon arrival.

If you fly into another airport you want to take a train to Düsseldorf:

Depending on your connection, you will arrive at
  • The railway station at Düsseldorf Airport: “Düsseldorf Flughafen”
  • Düsseldorf central station: “Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof”
  • Or the local train station “Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal”

From all these it is just a few minutes to the hotel. See the section on "By Train" for the last part of your trip.
