Novotel Submits Winning Bid for 250-Room Three-Star Hotel
Munich Airport has laid the cornerstone for yet another major enhancement to its infrastructure. Novotel – a hotel brand under the umbrella of the global French hospitality group Accor aimed at business travellers as well as tourists – submitted the winning bid to build a second airport hotel in the medium price range on site at Munich Airport. The “3-plus star” hotel with a total of 250 rooms is slated to open in the fall of 2009 and will complement hotel accommodation and services offered by the 5-star Kempinski Hotel Airport Munich, located between Terminals 1 & 2. The start of construction is scheduled for early 2008, with total investment expected to be approximately 27 million Euros.
The new hotel will be built on a 10,000-square meter (approximately 107,000 square feet) site on the P41 South long-term car park in the north-western section of the airport property, directly adjacent to the central access road. Shuttle bus service will be available to transport hotel guests to and from both airport terminals and Munich Airport´s Central Area in just a few minutes.
The Munich Airport operating company, Flughafen München GmbH (FMG), is developing the new hotel in response to increased demand for on-site hotel accommodation due to continued strong passenger growth.
The hotel will be priced to appeal to a mixed target market of business and non-business travellers, particularly families.
The building will have a 56 x 56 meter foundation and will be just over 19 meters tall. The renowned architect firm, Gewers, Kühn + Kühn, will also be in charge of general planning for the new hotel.
