French flair meets German engineering
The major Rhine city of Düsseldorf and its proximity to France inspired the Swedish creative team, Stylt Trampoli, to weave German engineering and French artistic flair into a holistic concept for the new hotel Das Tour which opened in May 208 in the new Düsseldorf urban development project, Le Quartier Central.
Das Tour has, brought alive by the interplay between the different characters and virtues of these two great European nations. The French chambres are fitted with terracotta floors, furnished in warm shades of wood, and exude an artistic flair. In contrast, the German rooms with their straightforward design and clear colours perfectly reflect the theme of engineering.

The public areas on the ground floor attract travellers and locals alike. In addition to tasty treats at Café La Tour, fresh flowers and decorative accessories in the flower shop next door, the ground floor is also home to a kiosk that offers bikes and accessories for mobile urbanites.
The Paris Club spans the top two floors, and attracts visitors with its unique view over the city’s rooftops. In the restaurant on the 16th floor, savoir-vivre is reinterpreted. Modern France sets the tone here. The Bar of the Paris Club takes the love of France to a new level, serving exclusively French products and also offers a fantastic view of the city from the 20-metre-long bar counter. The bicycle workshop in the hotel lobby is a nod to German engineering and offers bikes and accessories for mobile residents of the big city. Another eye-catcher is the kiosk, designed in French style. Alongside specialty coffees and tasty little treats, the shop also stocks books, magazines, and everyday essentials.
The hotel is intended to serve as the new quarter’s living room, where travellers and locals can meet in an organic, analogue setting. Furthermore, the team at SUPERSENSE with its Viennese head, Florian Doc Caps, have created a world of experiences packed full with analogue treasures, and have equipped some rooms with record players, Polaroid cameras, and typewriters.
