LETOMOTEL:The first LetoMotel was opened in Munich/Moosach in November 2010. The hotel, which has since expanded to offer 99 rooms, established itself in the market in an outstanding fashion right from the start. Attractive overnight accommodation prices starting from €49.00 have continuously attracted business travellers, city tourists and families to the hotel from day one. The clearly designed and welcoming 16-square-metre rooms offer guests everything that they need: they can sleep comfortably in exceptionally high-quality box-spring beds and enjoy free Internet connection throughout the hotel. The lobby, which is staffed around the clock, offers vending machines for drinks and snacks. In addition, an in-house baker offers guests a wide breakfast choice from 6 am every morning. All these comfort features can also be enjoyed by guests at the second LetoMotel location in Munich/Trudering, which has offered accommodation in 140 rooms since April 2015.
All LetoMotel locations are conveniently located directly beside an "S-Bahn" or "U-Bahn" railway station. This will also apply to the additionally planned hotels because the LetoMotel brand is continuing to grow in Munich: a third hotel, which will offer 150 rooms, is currently under construction at the Olympia Shopping Centre in Munich and is scheduled to open in August 2016. The objective is to add a further two locations in Munich and expand into other cities in Germany.

PRIZEOTEL The budget design hotel brand prizeotel was founded in 2006. In 2009, the first prizeotel opened in Bremen – and has become a success story for the last six years. In June, 2014 prizeotel Hamburg City opened, in September 2015 prizeotel Hanover City followed.
The neologism "prizeotel" is based on the combination of creating a clear added value for guests with a well thought-out hotel concept. Along with the naming, a customer-oriented approach, credibility and the objective to create a consistent and an easy-to-understand brand have been in the center of attention. Thus prizeotel is an exclusive designer product with the charm of a private hotel. It does not focus on the mass market but on the quality-focused individual traveler searching for a hotel which offers a good value for money – for business and leisure.
For its hotel development in Germany, prizeotel and the New York star designer Karim Rashid agreed to an exclusive cooperation about the design of all prizeotel properties. Every hotel is designed individually, in terms of color and furnishings. Karim Rashid’s style is found in the entire hotel making each property a "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 being the most unconventional one.
Since 2013, prizeotel has been supported by a strategic investor for its expansion. The May & Co. business group acquired one third of the prizeotel Management Group by a capital increase. The May Group further provides equity to fund additional hotel projects. So prizeotel has taken the next step to its vision statement: to become the most unconventional budget design hotel chain and qualitative leader in the core markets of Germany and Europe.
