Holiday Apartments near Messe Essen & Grugahalle
Travelling to Messe Essen and don't want a long commute? Our holiday apartments are just a few minutes from the exhibition grounds and the Grugahalle. After a long day at the fair you are "home" quickly, cook something in your own kitchen and sleep in a proper bed – instead of an anonymous hotel room.
Especially during the big fairs, accommodation in Essen sells out early. Booking directly with us saves the platform fees and gives you a personal contact. Self-check-in around the clock makes even a late arrival after the evening event stress-free.
Messe Essen hosts public and trade fairs such as SPIEL, the Essen Motor Show, E-world and IPM. During these dates the city fills up – so plan your accommodation in good time. On our site you can see current availability for every major fair date.
For exhibitor teams, having your own apartment is especially practical: several units close to each other, space for materials, a kitchen for shared breakfasts before the halls open and, on request, an invoice with VAT for your company. Just tell us your fair dates – we take care of the rest.
Best price guarantee: Found it cheaper on Airbnb or Booking? We refund the difference + a 20 € credit.

Es war alles super! Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft – würde es immer wieder buchen. Vielen lieben Dank nochmal für den tollen Service!
★★★★★
Super Wohnung, sehr gemütlich mit eigenem Stellplatz. Würde ich gerne nochmal buchen.
★★★★★
Wir waren als 4-köpfige Familie vor Ort. Die Wohnung ist klein aber fein. Ein Supermarkt ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Die Lage zur Zeche Zollverein ist super (25 Minuten zu Fuß). Der Stellplatz vor der Tür ist perfekt.
