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.
