MEININGER continues its expansion with the signing of the contract for a 135-room hotel in Krakow, Poland. The deal in partnership with Polish developer Fronton follows another signing in Warsaw. The opening of both hotels is planned for 2023.
“We are delighted with this result of successful cooperation with our Polish partners,” said Ajit Menon, CEO of MEININGER Hotels. “The MEININGER Hotel in Krakow is being built in an excellent location with a future-orientated infrastructure project for the region.”
The new MEININGER Hotel is being built east of the Old Town in the Grzegorzki district in a complex of historic houses that will consist of three buildings in the future. The plan is to renovate an existing front building and its associated garden house and to add another garden house, which is already under construction. A rooftop terrace together with two inner courtyards – one with a breakfast terrace and the other with a generous green area will form the heart of the complex.
“The concept of MEININGER Hotels, which counts leisure travellers as well as school classes among its guests, fits ideally into the surroundings of Grzegórzki. The architecture plays a central role in this,” said Eugeniusz Batko, CEO of Fronton.
As in the other buildings of the hybrid hotel chain, the hotel facilities include multi-bedded rooms for up to six people, a guest kitchen with a washer and dryer, a bar and a game zone. All buildings will be connected via the ground floor.
