Germany
Düsseldorf, the Rhine-side fashion and trade-fair capital, has a sauna scene split between luxury hotel spas serving the conference trade and neighbourhood Saunen serving residents year-round. The city's large Japanese business community has supported high-quality private and communal bathing venues. Rheinbad provides outdoor bathing access in summer. German textile-free norms apply throughout; Aufguss on schedule at most larger venues.
Neptunbad and Stadtbad are the main public options. Hotel spas at Hyatt Regency, Steigenberger Parkhotel, and The Wellem lead the luxury tier. Kleinenbroich sauna park (20 km north) covers the dedicated Saunalandschaft format.
Yes — Düsseldorf has the largest Japanese business community in continental Europe. This has influenced wellness: ofuro-style bath operators and high-quality Finnish saunas have partly grown from Japanese expat demand.
Very — the hotel spa tier is strong. Hyatt Regency, Steigenberger Parkhotel, and The Wellem all offer premium day-pass access. Düsseldorf's fashion culture extends into its wellness offer.
