Whether you're visiting Essen on business or want to explore the industrial history of the city, you can start your eventful day from our Premier Inn Essen City Centre hotel. Named European Capital of Culture in 2010, this city has plenty to offer. Visit the cathedral, the town hall gallery or the Folkwang Museum. Plan an excursion to the Zollverein colliery or Lake Baldeney, and don't miss the views from Villa Hugel. In the evening, look forward to a delicious meal in our lounge restaurant before enjoying a great night's sleep in one of our super-comfy hypnos beds.
