Considering the Mercure Hotel Dusseldorf am Stresemannplatz in Düsseldorf?

Spee'scher Gaben by antistar
Just behind the Stadtmuseum is one of Düsseldorf's many pretty little parks. The Spee's Graben was spectacularly transformed one day of my visit by a sudden and unexpected flurry of snow, allowing me to snap the photograph shown here. The gardens themselves actually form part of the fortifications of the "Marie Amalie" Bastion, and were once a ditch, hence the name "graben" which means ditch in German. The ditch was transformed into a park in 1834 by Maximilan Friedrich Weyhe, but part of the old fortifications remain in the form of a wall, which can be seen on the right of the photograph.
