Dalata Hotel Group, which owns the the Clayton Hotel and Maldron Hotel brands, is to open its second hotel in Germany - its fourth hotel in Continental Europe.
Dalata, the biggest hotel chain in Ireland, today announced a deal with Deka Immobilien to lease the 4-star Clayton Hotel Tiergarten in Berlin.
The hotel, which previously operated as Novotel Berlin Am Tiergarten hotel, is in the middle of an 18-month refurbishment investment.
When finished, the full-service Clayton Hotel will include 274 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, meeting and events centre, sauna, steam room and gym.
Dalata said it expects to open the hotel, through a 25-year lease, in the second half of next year.
Shane Casserly, Deputy CEO of Dalata Hotel Group, said the company was very excited to announce its first hotel in Berlin, which he described as a leading global travel destination and a key strategic location in its European expansion strategy.
"Situated close to numerous leisure and business hubs, the fully refurbished hotel will be ideally positioned to benefit from Berlin's rich mix of cultural, historical, sporting, and business events and attractions,"he said.
"We value deeply our partnerships, and we look forward to expanding our footprint in Germany and continuing our strong relationship with Deka," he added.
