Arena Hotel Map

The Arena Hotel first opened in 1952 and in its early days was used by lorry drivers from the Strassenverkehrsgenossenschaft association. Since then it has been brought under private ownership, and the clientele has changed. Tourists, business travellers, seasonal workers as well as families and longer-staying guests now form our client base. VELTINS Arena is just a few minutes away by car and is within comfortable walking distance of the hotel.

Gelsenkirchen, Germany: The thousand-year-old village of Gelsenkirchen boomed during the Industrial Revolution and was for decades the centre for German coal production. Now, former coal mine buildings house exhibitions and training academies. The city has two impressive castles, the 13th-century Berge Castle and the renaissance Horst Castle. The Bleckkirche, the city's oldest church, has an altar that depicts a 'Westphalian Last Supper'.
