This expansion solidifies the partnership between the owner of the art’otel concept, Mr Dirk Gädeke and Park Plaza Hotels Europe, now the exclusive management company for the brand. Mr Gädeke comments:
“I am passionate about my hotels: their location, the quirky design and interior artworks make the art’otel concept unique and attractive to art focused travellers - but design and visual identity is only part of our success. For some years now, Park Plaza Hotels Europe have proved a successful operator and management company for the art’otels in Budapest, Dresden and Berlin and this extended partnership is testament to their growing success and commitment to solid expansion. I enjoy an excellent relationship with Park Plaza Hotels Europe and look forward to being part of their major expansion plans for the art’otel brand.
Senior Vice President and Development for Park Plaza Hotels Europe, Mr Micha Polak, comments: “Our development strategy is tenacious, with art’otel being integral in our plans. As a design-led, luxury yet surprisingly affordable choice, art’otel will serve to meet the needs of a growing demand for destination lifestyle hotels in key European cities. This news comes shortly after our announcement of a new art’otel in Bucharest next year, the conversion of Park Plaza Vondel Amsterdam to an art’otel next year and I can now confirm we are also in latter-stage negotiations for hotels in Prague, London, Vienna, Dusseldorf and Cologne.”
