Best Hotel in Dusseldorf

We are headed to Dusseldorf for the Christmas markets right after Christmas. We love quaint accommodations but we have a party of 5 big American sized adults that can split up (ideally) between 2 rooms. Sometimes quaint just doesn't fit my 6'4" husband so we aren't locked into quaint and/or historic. Any suggestions of clean, quaint places that sleep 3 to a room and maybe centrally located? I think we can grab a Dusseldorf card for trains if it isn't centrally located? Thanks so much!

I put your requirements into the hotel mentioned above.

Next Tuesday they have a suite available for 5 with 2 bedrooms. It was the only choice offered. It isn't clear if breakfast is included. The price for one night is โ‚ฌ9,270. That also includes free cancellation up to 24 hours out. They call it the Presidential Suite.

Thank you! Unfortunately that is a little out of my price range. Looks lovely!

Next time you post, I suggest that you think about how your question can be misinterpreted. "Best" could mean anything from "Best for my tall family" to "Best Budget hotel... " or "Best Imperialist luxury five-star." But the word "Best" alone in a Subject line is very misleading.

A few years ago, I stayed at Derag Livinghotel De Medici Muhlenstr. 31 Duesseldorf NW 1-866-599-6674. This was a gut-renovated upper-level business hotel in a superb location. I think it was once an old mansion, but it could have been a business of some kind. My room had a strange layout, but was very comfortable without remotely approaching a five-star. However, the (extra, I think) breakfast was five-star, including a cooler of Sekt wine.

Note that there is another Derag hotel which gets much weaker reviews than the one I named above.

I don't know where the Christmas markets (if open ...) are, but I certainly walked to the Altstadt a few times. I certainly needed underground trains to see the rest of the city, to get from the airport, and so on.

It's mostly about other cities, but my trip report has a subhead mentioning Dusseldorf:
