DUA/HOTEL
A holiday feeling from the moment you check in.
The ABF is Northern Germany's largest leisure and lifestyle fair — with over 500 exhibitors covering travel, caravanning & camping, cycling & outdoor, active & fitness as well as cars & accessories. Five days full of inspiration for everyone who loves their free time.
Travelling in from the surrounding area? Turn your fair visit into a relaxed short trip: from Röntgenstraße station — a 2-minute walk from the hotel — you ride without changing directly to Hannover/Laatzen exhibition station. No traffic jams, no hunting for parking at the gates.
Handy for families and exhibitors alike: caravans, vans and larger vehicles park free right at the hotel, our hearty breakfast gets you going in the morning, and the Duo Café & Bar invites you to wind down in comfort.
Röntgenstraße station a 2-minute walk away — without changing trains to Hannover/Laatzen exhibition station. From there the Skywalk takes you straight onto the exhibition grounds.
Via the B6 to the Hannover trade fair in about 15 minutes. Or: leave the car at the hotel for free and take the train in comfort.
Hannover Airport reachable by S-Bahn — with one change at the main station towards Sarstedt.
