We are always looking for exciting new projects, whether that involves new buildings, conversions, rebranding, ownership or rental.

New buildings

Our new building project Motel One Berlin-Alexanderplatz is the largest Motel One hotel (708 rooms) and just one example of numerous new building projects. It stands out on account of its special location right on Alexanderplatz.

Listed buildings

Motel One Vienna-Staatsoper is an example of a conversion of a listed property from the 19th/20th century.

Mixed-use properties

Motel One Berlin-Potsdamer Platz is integrated into the Mall of Berlin on Leipziger Platz, directly opposite the German Bundesrat (Federal Council).

Conversions of existing properties

The best example of a successful conversion is the Motel One in the historic post office building in Zurich city centre.

Rebranding of existing hotels

Motel One Copenhagen is a perfect example of a rebranding of an existing hotel. It meets our location and product requirements and was easily integrated into our portfolio.
