Deutsche Hospitality Partners with B&L Group to Develop 300-Room IntercityHotel in Hungarian Capital of Budapest

. February 02, 2017

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, DE. February 2, 2017 - IntercityHotel is continuing to grow, and will provide Deutsche Hospitality with its first presence in Eastern Europe by 2019. A new hotel will be created in the Hungarian capital of Budapest in a modern building located by the square in front of the city's Eastern Station (“Keleti pályaudvar”). It will have 300 rooms and thus offer travellers plenty of space. The hotel's interior design will bear the signature of the Italian architect Matteo Thun, whose style concept will characterise the next generation of IntercityHotels. The building will have a restaurant, a bar, a conference area and an underground car park with 200 spaces.

Although the IntercityHotel brand is mainly focused in Germany, it has increasingly been expanding abroad over the recent past. There are now locations in Vienna (Austria), Enschede (Netherlands), Salalah (Oman) and Qingdao (China). Further hotels will be added in Germany and at three more foreign sites during the coming years. Alongside Budapest, the locations that have been earmarked are Leiden (Netherlands) and Dubai (United Arab Emirates).

Joachim Marusczyk, Managing Director of IntercityHotel GmbH, is looking forward to the new opening in Hungary: “Budapest is a city with a great past and lots of potential. We are delighted that our brand will soon be able to offer a centrally positioned and modern hotel in such an attractive metropolis.”

The building is owned by the Hamburg-based B&L Group which, as well as acting as contractual partner in this case, is also currently working with IntercityHotel GmbH to develop three new hotels in Hamburg-Barmbek, Dortmund and Hildesheim. This is the first occasion on which B&L has joined forces with IntercityHotel GmbH to implement a project abroad.

The B&L Group's Managing Partner Thorsten Testorp stated: “For B&L, the development of the IntercityHotel project in Budapest represents an extraordinarily exciting challenge which we are delighted to be able to tackle. We are looking forward to working together with Deutsche Hospitality, a partner of many years' standing, to realise this outstanding hotel property.”
