At the turn of the year, the Hyatt group added a new address in Frankfurt, even before the opening of a 189-room and studio Hyatt House on Goetheplatz in the second quarter of 2026. At the end of December, the Kennedy 89 hotel welcomed its first guests. The name of this new member of the Unbound Collection luxury brand says a lot about its location - on the corner of Kennedy Allee, in the chic district of Sachsenhausen - but also about its atmosphere, a contemporary reminder of the 1960s, when the American president visited the German financial capital. The new hotel has 180 rooms - including the largest inventory of suites for a hotel in the city, with 69 - each with a private balcony and all with kitchenettes for longer stays. With a restaurant serving Levantine cuisine, a lounge bar and soon a rooftop bar, the Kennedy 89 has much more to offer business travellers, in addition to two meeting rooms, each of which can be divided in two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A long-awaited combo for a hotel complex with 172 rooms for Novotel and over 450 rooms for the budget and design brand ibis Styles. The two Accor brands will thus be working together to revitalise HafenCity as part of the development of the \u00dcberseequartier, a new cultural, gastronomic and commercial hub on Hamburg's waterfront.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Althoff Dom Hotel - Cologne (summer)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This flagship hotel in Cologne, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, is set to reopen its doors in the middle of the year after a long renovation phase. The hotel, which is next door to the cathedral, cannot boast as long a history as the cathedral itself. But all the same: the first hotel to open on this site dates back to 1840, when it was frequented by William II, before being rebuilt after the destruction caused by the Second World War. Business travellers will soon return to this luxurious and practical base, located 300 m from the station, offering 130 rooms and suites and meeting rooms, all complemented by five bars and restaurants, including a signature rooftop restaurant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
