Hotel in Dortmund, Germany
Hotel Schreiber Hohensyburg Dortmund
Modern hotel in green setting near Dortmund with focus on sustainability. Spacious rooms, good restaurant, wellness area, and forest location offer peaceful retreat while remaining accessible to city attractions and business district.
Hotel Schreiber Hohensyburg is situated in the wooded hills of the Hohensyburg district on the southeastern edge of Dortmund, adjacent to the Hohensyburg casino and overlooking the Hengsteysee reservoir on the Ruhr river. The location offers a markedly different character from the urban Dortmund city centre approximately 10 km to the north, placing guests within a forested landscape with cycling and hiking trails while remaining accessible by car via the A45 motorway. The Ruhrtal cycling path passes close to the hotel, making it a practical base for touring the wider Ruhr valley by bicycle.
The hotel is a modern property built to take advantage of its hillside setting. The rooms are generously sized by comparison with city-centre equivalents and are finished in a clean contemporary style with warm wood detailing, offering views onto the surrounding forest or toward the Hengsteysee. Standard, Superior, and Suite categories are available, and several rooms are configured for business guests with expanded desk space and strong connectivity. A wellness area with sauna, steam bath, and relaxation room provides a modest but well-maintained spa offering.
The in-house restaurant serves a menu of regional Westphalian dishes alongside broader German and European classics, drawing on local producers and rotating the menu seasonally. The terrace allows outdoor dining during warmer months with garden views. The comprehensive breakfast buffet is consistently well regarded in guest reviews. Conference and meeting rooms serve the business-travel market, and the hotel cooperates with the Hohensyburg casino for event packages. Dortmund's Westfalenstadion, the Deutsches Fußballmuseum, and the industrial heritage trail sites of the Ruhrgebiet are all within a 20-minute drive, making the hotel equally suited to leisure and professional stays.
