Art Fabrik Hotel, Wuppertal

Art Fabrik Hotel, Wuppertal - Hotel Description

Boasting a striking design and impressive works of art, this elegant 4-star hotel offers tastefully furnished rooms and a quiet location in the Heckinghausen district of Wuppertal.

The Art Fabrik Hotel is a unique hotel in a historic factory building which used to belong to the family of Marx and Engels. Every 3 months, the Art Fabrik Hotel hosts a new exhibition by young, contemporary artists to raise money for 8 children's hospitals.

On checking in, you can visit the hotel's unoccupied rooms and choose the one that you prefer. Some of the rooms have a private sauna, a wooden bathtub or a PC.

More than 80 artists were involved in the design of the hotel and helped to shape the stunning restaurant, café, art gallery and the Persian hamam.

Guests also enjoy free parking, several free drinks, free admission to the gallery, and complimentary Wi-Fi internet access throughout the hotel.

This historic building was once a factory owned by the family of Friedrich Engels, and Engels himself was involved in the workshop here. In the past Karl Marx received his money from here while he was writing his Manifesto.

This building now houses the Art Fabrik Hotel (Fabrik means factory). The idea behind the hotel is to combine art and charity, and the hotel is committed to supporting children's homes. Several years ago, Roswitha and Erich Bethe, the founders of the Bethe Foundation, developed the unusual concept of the Art Fabrik Hotel.

The hamam is free of charge for guests. It is open from Sunday to Thursday between 18:00 and 22:00, and on Friday and Saturday between 09:00 and 11:00.

The hotel has 6 conference rooms with a combined capacity of 500.
