The German hotel market growth continues. 410 new hotel construction and renovation projects are currently in progress. The largest hotel projects with more than 1,000 rooms are both located in the state of Brandenburg in Eastern Germany. The largest city hotel project is the Scandic Hotel Berlin with 572 rooms. According to tophotelprojects.com® approx. 66,000 hotel rooms will be constructed or renovated in Germany within the next five years.
“More than 270 projects are first class or luxury hotels,” Rolf W. Schmidt, Managing Owner of CHD Expert Germany and COO of tophotelprojects.com®, said. “With over 60 luxury hotel projects this market segment grows by over 30 percent.” Today are approx. 11,200 hotels in Germany in operation, 208 of them are five star rated/luxury hotels.
In spite of the financial crisis investments in new hotels in Germany are impressive. In the capital of Berlin alone 34 construction and renovation projects are in progress. In Frankfurt/Main 15 hotels are projected and in Munich 13 new hotels will be opened within the next years.
Two-thirds of the new hotel projects will be operated by hotel chains or hotel groups. Six new hotels will be branded by Hilton or Hilton Garden Inn, three by ArabellaStarwood and five new hotels by 25hours, a new lifestyle hotel group from Germany.
