Our Story: The Journey of Guestified

2016

The Beginning of Our Journey: Barbarossa classic

Our journey started with the beautiful Barbarossa Classic Hotel in Ratingen, a place with over 100 years of history, known for its cozy charm and elegant mix of modern comfort and tradition. From the very beginning, we put our hearts into making it the best stay in town. With a passion for hospitality, we worked hard every day to create a welcoming space where guests feel at home. Our goal was simple—to be the number one choice in Ratingen, and we gave it our all to make that happen.

Expanding Our Horizons: City Apart Hotel Düsseldorf

After establishing ourselves in Ratingen, we were ready for the next step—bringing our hospitality to Düsseldorf. City Apart Hotel Düsseldorf became our second hotel, offering a cozy and convenient stay in the heart of the city. With around 30 rooms, we wanted to create a place where both business and leisure travelers could feel at home. Our focus was on providing comfort, great service, and easy access to everything the city has to offer.
