Munich (January 12, 2018). Hotel rooms in Germany are becoming increasingly smaller and more efficient, without having to relinquish their stylish design standards. Budget hotels have proved that the same amount or even more money can be made from rooms of just 15-19 sq.m. in size, compared to the 22-24 sq.m. rooms of the large 4-star hotels. The secret is to be found in their clever design. Learn more from the major names of the sector – from experts from GBI AG, Invesco Real Estate, Motel One, Ruby Hotels and a2 architecture. On Monday 19 March 2018, hotelbau and hospitalityInside.com will hold a one-day symposium on "Efficient use of space in hotel planning and operation" at the Hotel Sofitel Bayerpost Munich. The day is rounded off with the visit of three hotels in Munich.
Motel One founder Dieter Mueller is known in the industry as a master of the Excel table. From the very first day, he calculated the efficiency of his budget hotels – in order to convince his finance and investment partners with these figures. Insiders know: Many projects fail because the building can't house a sufficient number of rooms and/or public spaces are designed much too generously.
