For a taste of a little luxury, German hospitality, beautiful scenery and delicious local cuisine, head to Van der Valk Gladbeck. Situated in the heart of a beautiful green belt in the Ruhr area, Gladbeck is in one of Europe’s most interesting and colourful cultural landscapes, with close proximity to various amusement parks, cultural museums and numerous excursions.
The Atrium with its impressive lounge, open fire and an exclusive gift shop creates an impressive entrance to the hotel. A spacious car park with 350 places is available for you to use free of charge.
The Rose Garden Spa at Gladbeck is certainly a highlight, with three different saunas, a massage room and thalassic bath amongst other treatments.

The Hotel Gladbeck has over 181 beautifully designed rooms, from the aptly named ‘Comfort Room’ to more opulent suites. All the rooms are furnished with an extremely comfortable bed and separate sitting area, to really make you feel at home (albeit a particularly glamorous version!) Perhaps the highlight of the rooms is the private balcony or terrace that almost every room room has. Looking out over the stunning countryside that surrounds the resort, the balconies are the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or the delicious sweet treats the hotel makes.
All the rooms are fitted with the latest luxury amenities and facilities, including:
The hotel serves food from 6 in the morning to 11 at night, ensuring you never want for anything, no matter the time. The sumptuous breakfast buffet is open all morning, meaning you start the day the right way. The à la carte restaurant then opens from 12 noon, offering international and vegetarian dishes, as well as local delicacies for you to sample.
For a quick snack or light meal, head to the terrace, where you can also choose from a variety of drinks and cocktails. The terrace is particularly lovely in the summer, when you can sit outside, to admire the stunning views.
The food served by Gladbeck is delicious, both hearty and gourmet. It’s well worth taking a day out to merely relax at the resort, and try all the different dishes on offer.
If you are after an active holiday, Gladbeck is the resort to stay in. The alpincenter Bottrop is nearby, and at 640 meters long features the world’s longest indoor ski slope. The complex has the highest beer garden in the Ruhr area and a delicious buffet, so after some winter sport fun (all year round), stick around for the après ski facilities. For more sport excitement the beautiful Wittringer tennis club is located very close to the hotel, as are a variety of bicycle hiring options.
For a more interactive experience, head to Hollywood in the Ruhr area, in the shape of The Movie Park. Only 15 minutes away from the hotel, the park will provide fun for all the family. Along the same vein is the Duisburg Zoo, a restful piece of nature in the heart of the city. There are hundreds of fascinating animals, including Europe’s first Dolphinarium, opened in 1965.
In 2010, Essen was voted the European Capital of Culture. The Museum Folkwang in the city is the best art gallery in the area, housing works by Manet, Van Gough, Gauguin and Renoir, amongst others. There are also many other landmarks in Essen, including a striking church, dating back to 1275 and the Ruhrmuseum, a museum dedicated to the history of the Ruhr area.
