citizenM is owner/developer/operator of its own brand of hotels, named after its target audience: mobile citizens. citizenM started with an idea to disrupt the traditional hotel industry by creating a luxury hybrid hotel for today's modern travelers – eliminating the frustrations these travelers shared.
Currently citizenM has 13 hotels operational, with 20 more under development. citizenM has secured a presence in amongst others Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Shanghai.
citizenM is a vertically integrated operational real estate platform and owns the majority of its real estate, with only a minority of hotels subject to management contracts and leases. The company has an ambitious rollout strategy and is actively sourcing new opportunities in key gateway cities around the world. In Europe the focus for further expansion is amongst others on Hamburg, Munich, Geneva, Zurich, Copenhagen and London.
In 2008, we opened our first hotel and designed it around a new type of traveler – one who values a luxury hotel experience in central city locations, but at an affordable price.
A hybrid hotel that isn't just a place to sleep, but somewhere to work, relax, and play. To meet like-minded people and get inspired. Somewhere to feel at home the moment you walk through the door. Somewhere with free Wi-Fi, comfortable furniture, and a great bed to crash in at the end of a long day.
We know your time is precious, that’s why we don’t want to waste any of it, not even when you check in or out. We swapped the tedious form-filling for self-service check-in at touch-screen terminals. It takes just 60 seconds to check in, 30 to check out, and our friendly ambassadors are always there to help.
We know our beds are the best in the world, but we don’t want anyone to feel they have to stay in the bedroom. We made our living rooms as inviting as possible by creating multiple corners for working and eating, lounges for relaxing, and places for sitting and watching TV.
We’re not sure which part of our room is our favourite: the wall-to-wall beds and windows, powerful rain showers, or tablet-controlled ambient settings. Perhaps it’s the fact that we only have one type of bed (king-size double), or that we stripped away all unnecessary and unwanted extras to give our citizens everything they truly need. Or maybe it’s the free Wi-Fi and free movies. Take a tour and decide for yourself.

Derag Livinghotels. Balancing Work and Life in a Home away from Home. Living Hotels, a pioneer and market leader in Germany.
Balancing work and life: in the year 2018 this increasingly means that when you are on business in a foreign city you want to balance work on the one hand with leisure and life on the other. The Living Hotels of the Derag Group are offering a tailor-made solution in the form of homes away from home. There you may work and live between homely walls at a reasonable rate, without brokers or a cautionary payment, in the midst of attentive staff, who behave as willing hosts and are always unruffled and personal.
In 1982, Living Hotels introduced the notion of serviced apartments in Germany with their first hotel in Munich and are viewed as pioneers even today. With currently 16 hotels and more than 3000 rooms in eight locations – Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Nuremberg, Weimar and Vienna – this family-owned company has always been one of the leading players in the German-speaking world.
One of the main reasons for this has been its determination not to follow market trends but to create them, to meet the ever-changing demands of business travellers on wheels or wings. And last but not least, the Living Hotels are based on a two-pillar concept, offering hotel rooms for leisure guests on the one hand and serviced apartments for business travellers on the other under one roof. The business categories range from big maisonettes and studios to individually furnished suites and luxury service apartments in a class of their own.
In creating a Living Hotel, we have always been guided by the quality of the location and the local infrastructure. The hotels are central, at the heart of events and within reach of everything vital; they are right there where you, as a guest from Munich, Berlin, Vienna or elsewhere, would like to live, given the choice. On top of all this, you are not tied down, as the apartment is only temporary, though it has a bedroom, work area and kitchenette, and mostly a balcony too. You also have all the amenities of service found only in a hotel. These factors are especially appreciated by business guests who, in being away from home for weeks on end, like to feel part of a city. To put it in a nutshell, a guest in a Living Hotel has the best of both worlds, or as we in the firm say, “You are not just here for the night; you are here for life and delight!”

easyhotel by i.GEN Hotels GmbH from Potsdam is the master franchisee of the international super-budget hotel chain easyHotel for Germany.The company was founded in 2007 in Berlin to acquire the franchise rights of easyHotel from the easyGroup and Sir Stelios, the founder of the low cost airline EasyJet. A hotel market analysis confirmed our own expectations und showed that the market chance for a low-budget hotel chain in Germany were very high.
The i.gen hotels GmbH partners are connected by their love of hotels and the hotel industry, and it is based on years of experience and collaboration in areas such as hotel development, project marketing and hotel management.
After intensive development of the room and the hotel product, the first easyHotel in Berlin – new build – at Hackescher Markt in the hotspot district Mitte was opened. The easyHotel Frankfurt City Center – conversion - between the Frankfurt main train station and the trade fair followed. Both properties were sold to one of the co-partners after opening.
easyHotel presents itself as future orientated and profitable. This has strengthened the financial potential of i.gen hotels and formed a secure platform to operate as a solid financial operator. The strengths of the hotel product: internet-based „easy” brand – top location in the city centre – super-budget price – high-quality design – profitable. The development of easyHotel shall be pushed forward. For this purpose, we are looking for hotel locations or projects for acquisition, leasing or development.
Due to the fact that easyHotels do not have any restaurants or bars, the locations have to be in and around the city centre of major cities in Germany and Europe; but also hotspot districts with their urban infrastructure are ideal. The hotel product easyHotel is ideal for conversions of outdated office buildings or as a way to fill a gap in properties with retail space on the ground floor. Development-friendly use of space – safe return on investment.

Harry's Home Hotels. 4 x in Austria – 1 x in Munich – from 2019 in Zurich.
The company was founded in 2006 by hotelier and entrepreneur Harald "Harry" Ultsch from Innsbruck and is the missing link between hotel and apartment. Guests are neither over nor under catered for. They decide on the scope for themselves: support instead of overpriced service.
The innovative modular principle of Harry's Home Hotels, with individually bookable offers such as frequency of room cleaning, kitchen in the room or breakfast, combines the values of traditional hospitality with modern needs.
Harry's Home positions itself in the category between 3 and 4 stars and complements its range of offers with the option of long stay. "Short-term accommodation" is a growing need, be it private or professional.
After opening Harry's Home Hotels in Graz (2006), Linz (2009), Dornbirn (2010) and Vienna (2012), Harald Ultsch opened his first hotel outside Austria in Munich in 2015, and Harry's Home Hotel Zurich will welcome its first guests on 1 April 2019. The next Harry's Home Hotels will open in Bern, Berlin and Lienz/East Tyrol.
Further locations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are being planned, as well as the acquisition of 15 franchisees over the next five years.
The latest project is the development of the brand "Harry's Home Country", i.e. vacation hotels in holiday regions. The "Harry's Home" hotel group has already won several awards, including the 2016 "Top Hotel Opening Award" and "Tyrol's Best Family Business 2017". The hotel group’s headquarters is in Innsbruck, Austria.

The German portfolio of currently 12 hotels are operated by LFPI Hotels Management Deutschland GmbH: three Ibis hotels in Aachen, Erfurt and Augsburg, two Ibis Styles in Hamburg and Speyer, three Mercure in Berlin, Dusseldorf and Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, a Best Western in Berlin, the Hotel Indigo in Dusseldorf, the Schloßhotel Karlsruhe and the Hotel Excelsior Lübeck.
Specifically in Germany, we are looking to ramp-up to approximately 30 hotels over the next three to five years as owners and/ or operators. Besides the owner & operator model LFPI Hotels Deutschland positiones itself in the future as a pure operator for external owners. We focus on midscale city hotels in both primary and secondary city centre areas (approx. 50 to 150 rooms). Generally operated by LFPI Hotel Management Deutschland GmbH and marketed via franchise partnerships, certain leases can be taken over with short residual terms. Acquiring hotels in Germany and Central Europe will allow for positive growth of the LFPI portfolio over the near future.

Prizeotel, the Economy-Design-Hotel has successfully established four hotels in Bremen, Hamburg and Hanover in the German hotel market. The prizeotel Hamburg-St. Pauli opened in June 2018 with 257 rooms near the Reeperbahn.
After announcing the joint venture with The Rezidor Hotel Group and its 480 hotels in more than 80 countries in March 2016, the portfolio of prizeotel has grown rapidly: Besides 989 rooms in operation, almost 1,300 rooms are in the pipeline for hotels in Bern, Erfurt, Munich, Münster, Dusseldorf and Vienna.
The neologism „prizeotel“ is based on the combination of creating the maximum of value for guests with a well thought-out hotel concept. Along with the naming, a customer-oriented approach and the credibility to create a brand with clear objectives for everybody has been the center of attention. At prizeotel, it‘s not just about placing design furniture throughout the hotel, but creating a real and logical design inside and out. New York’s Star-Designer Karim Rashid exclusively designs all prizeotels. Every hotel is designed individually in terms of colour and furnishing. Rashid’s style is found throughout the entire hotel and each prizeotel is therefore a so called „signature-brand hotel”.
Furthermore, prizeotel is an innovative pioneer in the hotel industry, and one of the fastest hotel operators in developing and implementing technical innovations that underline the prizeotel experience in the most unconventional way.
