A new Dortmund has been emerging for some time from the old coal and steel town in the Ruhr: a modern economic location that offers people the promise of a sustainable outlook for the future and a city in which people feel at home. The Steigenberger Hotel Dortmund is situated directly across from the Westfalenpark the Westfalenhallen convention center and the Westfalenstadion the former soccer ground of the local team and now the Signal Iduna Park and only three kilometers from the main train station. The Kreuzviertel district with its varied gastronomy is located within easy walking distance of the hotel.
