ACHAT Hotel Monheim am Rhein is a comfortable base between Düsseldorf and Cologne, around 600 metres from Monheim’s historic old town. A stay here leaves plenty of room for variety, from walks beside the Rhine and visits to Benrath Palace to city sightseeing and days out in the Bergisches Land.

About the hotel

The hotel has a simple, informal feel, with a breakfast buffet and a lobby bar where you can sit down for a drink in the evening. Its partner restaurant, Casa Luigi, serves Mediterranean and international dishes from Monday to Saturday.

Things to see and do

Monheim’s historic old town and Rhine promenade are good places to spend a leisurely afternoon. Wander through the streets, stop for a coffee or follow the river on foot or by bike, with broad views across the water.

Nearby, Benrath Palace in southern Düsseldorf makes a rewarding outing. The pink palace overlooks a reflecting pond and is surrounded by extensive grounds, with formal gardens and wooded paths to explore.

For a full day in the city, Düsseldorf offers the Altstadt, art museums and shopping along Königsallee. 

Cologne makes an enjoyable day trip, with its magnificent Gothic cathedral and old town streets lined with traditional breweries serving the local Kölsch beer. Stroll along the Rhine, cross the Hohenzollern Bridge with its thousands of love locks, or visit the Museum Ludwig for modern art. The Chocolate Museum adds another tempting stop, with exhibits tracing the story of cocoa and chocolate making.

East of Monheim, the Bergisches Land offers a change of scenery. Rolling hills, forests, reservoirs and villages with half-timbered houses give the region its character. Marked walking trails range from shorter outings to longer hikes, with routes through stream valleys and up to open viewpoints.
