Cox & Kings owned Meininger Hotels in cooperation with the property developer Buhlmann Immobilien will build a new hotel with 126 rooms or 378 beds at the main station next to the new FBT. For the hotel group MEININGER it is the first project in Bremen. The hotel is scheduled to open in spring 2022. The company Robert C. Spies Gewerbe und Investment GmbH Co. KG acted as intermediary.

The signing of the contract between Buhlmann Immobilien and MEININGER Hotels sealed a new hotel project in Bremen. At the Burgermeister-Smidt-Strasse 15, 126 hotel rooms or 378 beds will be installed on a gross floor area of more than 5,100 sqm. The completion of the eleven-storey hotel building is scheduled for spring 2022.

"The historic Schnoorviertel and the town hall are landmarks for the significance of the Hanseatic city and its moving history. These and many other sights and unique places attract increasing numbers of visitors to the city on the Weser every year. The proximity to long-distance bus and train connections is perfect for our future hotel guests. The MEININGER Hotel Bremen completes the area around the central station and the new FBT," explains Hannes Spanring, CEO of MEININGER Hotels.

Like most MEININGER hotels, the new property in Bremen will feature a guest kitchen, a game zone and a flexible room structure for a broad guest mix. There will be private single and double rooms as well as multiple bed rooms for up to four people. "The Bremen hotel industry receives around 60 percent business and 40 percent, individual travellers. For this mix, we are very well set up with our hybrid concept," states Doros Theodorou, CCO of MEININGER Hotels.

Located between Bremen's Old Town and the central station, the hotel is well connected to public transport. The central station is within walking distance in 2 minutes. The planned FBT is located right next to the hotel. Numerous shopping and entertainment venues are located within walking distance in the city centre, the Old Town and the nearby shopping centre City Gate. Attractions such as Uberseemuseum, historic town hall, Bottcherstrafse, Schnoorviertel, Weser Stadium and the harbour can either be reached on foot or by public transport from the hotel. The airport is around 15 minutes by car.

In 2019, MEININGER Hotels has already opened two new properties, in Munich and Budapest. With the opening of the MEININGER Hotel Paris Porte de Vincennes this summer the company will enter the French market.
