Where to stay in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Rooms answer to the museums. Pempelfort belongs to Düsseldorf, so a bed inside the district puts the Museum Kunstpalast and the NRW Forum within a short walk, and leaves the Hofgarten as the green edge of an evening. Streets around the Kreuzherrenkirche and the Palais Spinrath stay residential, which keeps the quarter calm once the exhibition halls have closed.
