Spanish operator Melia Hotels has confirmed it will open its 30th property in Germany in early 2019.
Germany is now the hotel operator’s most important European growth market and second largest behind Spain, with 24 hotels under operation and a further six in the pipeline. In 2014 the company saw 11% growth in RevPAR (revenue per available room) in the country.
The latest project will be the company’s fifth hotel in Frankfurt, contributing to further consolidation in a market.
The four-star new-build hotel, Meliá Frankfurt, will be located in the Bockenheim district, next to the Natural History Museum and one kilometre from the central railway station. It is also beside one of the largest trade fair sites in the world. The site is the former campus of the renowned Goethe University, an area which will be completely redeveloped.
The hotel will be built and owned by a fund of Commerz Real AG, subsidiary of the German Commerzbank group. Groß & Partner, a leading German construction firm, will develop the 140-metre tall building.
Meliá Frankfurt will have 291 rooms and several dining spaces, a sky bar as well as facilities for meetings and events, a car park and a full YHI spa, the Meliá spa brand. The opening of the hotel will mean that Meliá Hotels International is operating approximately 900 rooms in the city, in midscale to upscale hotels, joining the INNSIDE Eurotheum (74 rooms), INNSIDE Niederrad (146 rooms), QGreenHotel by Meliá (177 rooms), and a new INNSIDE hotel in Ostend (210 rooms) which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2016.
