[4] Hermann vom Endt designed the beer and wine bars that were connected to the hotel.

Its location was touted on advertisements as being only five minutes away from Düsseldorf's main train station, and was equipped with all the modern conveniences of the time, including electric lights, an elevator, and central heating.

Several bay windows, balconies, gables and turrets create a picturesque appearance.

The gables and turret were reconstructed in 1982-83 largely based on the original drawings, though the small dormers in between these features were left as skylights.
