Courtyard by Marriott opens second new-look hotel in Cologne, Germany
The 236-room hotel is located at the heart of the Kunibertsviertel neighbourhood on the former Afri-cola grounds, with Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine River nearby. The spacious guest rooms feature fresh and contemporary design with locally inspired furnishings.
The dynamic lobby space features free Wi-Fi, flexible seating for working, meeting or socialising and an interactive GoBoard screen with the latest news, weather and local information. A 24-hour market and EatDrinkConnect Bistro offer a range of meals, snacks and drinks.
“The Courtyard Cologne is our first hotel investment and is situated at this historic location, right at the heart of Cologne,” commented Alexander Flach, Owner and Director of Blumhoffer Hotelbesitz Dagobertstrasse.
The opening takes the brand one step closer to their 1000th hotel worldwide. In the past years, the brand has embarked on a journey to refresh business travel, with a lobby transformation in the United States and a customised product for four different regions including Europe, which has exceeded performance expectations since launching at Aberdeen Airport Hotel in 2013.
“We are excited to introduce a new Courtyard hotel to Cologne, demonstrating our commitment to offering guests a relevant and refreshed hotel experience,” said Amy McPherson, President and Managing Director, Marriott International, Europe. “We have a strong pipeline for the brand with openings planned for Poland, The Netherlands and Russia in the next couple of years.”
