Hilton has signed a franchise agreement with Munich Hotel Partners (MHP) to open Conrad Hamburg, set to become the first hotel in Germany to operate under Hilton’s luxury Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand. Located in the centre of Hamburg, the property will undergo an extensive refurbishment programme before opening under the Conrad brand in 2024 and joining 15 Conrad hotels currently trading or under development in EMEA.
The hotel will be housed in the historic Levantehaus building, located on one of Europe’s most popular shopping boulevards, the Monckebergstraße. Moments away from the city’s many landmarks, attractions and transport links, the 238-room hotel will feature 25 spacious suites and 32 residential suites, nine meeting rooms, a sophisticated lounge bar and restaurant, and wellness facilities including a luxury spa, state-of-the-art gym and private pool.
Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, EMEA, Hilton, said: “As the country’s second-largest city and a prominent business and leisure destination, we’re delighted to be bringing the Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand to the city of Hamburg. With growing international demand for high quality luxury accommodation, we look forward to working with MHP to broaden Hilton’s offering in Hamburg and Germany, with 56 hotels currently trading or under development.”
Dr. Jorg Frehse, CEO of MHP Hotel AG, said: "We are thrilled to partner with Hilton to bring the Conrad brand to the Levantehaus and into our upscale and luxury hotel portfolio. It is our ambition to bring international guests to experience the Hamburg way of life while also creating an attractive venue for locals - just as we have already succeeded in doing so with other projects in various locations."
"We are very excited to be working with MHP and Hilton. The concept of Conrad Hamburg, which exemplifies the brand ethos of purposeful service, contemporary design and innovation, is a perfect fit for Levantehaus. We see the Levantehaus as a place of relaxation and enjoyment that inspires people; our events and our social commitment make us an integral part of Hamburg," said Dietmar Hamm, managing director, Levantehaus.
