Stay in Essen's liveliest quarter

Holiday Apartment in Essen-Rüttenscheid

Rüttenscheid – affectionately called "the Rü" by locals – is the liveliest quarter of the city: cafés, restaurants, boutiques and bars line the Rüttenscheider Straße, and yet you are surrounded by greenery within minutes. From a holiday apartment here, you experience Essen the way locals love it.

Our apartments are fully equipped, tastefully furnished and stocked with everything you need for a few days or weeks: kitchen, Wi-Fi, comfortable beds and self-check-in. You book directly with us – no platform fees, with personal contact to your host.

From Rüttenscheid everything is close at hand: the Grugapark and Messe Essen lie to the south, the Philharmonie and the Aalto Theatre are around the corner, and the underground takes you to the main station and city centre in minutes. The Museum Folkwang – one of Germany's most important art museums – is within walking distance too.

Whether city break, concert visit or business appointment at the fair: in Rüttenscheid you stay central yet quiet. In the evening you will find restaurants from cosy to upscale right outside your door – no need to move the car again after check-in.
