German Maritim Hotels group has signed a new 50-year lease with Union Investment for the biggest integrated congress hotel in Europe, being developed in Amsterdam North, close to the River Ij and opposite the city's central railway station across the waterway.

The hotel, together with the Yvie residential tower being constructed alongside, represent a total investment commitment to the area development project of around €500 million by Union Investment. The agreement was announced at a 'topping out' ceremony in the Maritim Hotel tower on 15th of june by the well-known German family-owned hospitality group and Union Investment, one of Europe's leading real estate investment managers

The exceptionally long 50-year lease compares with an European industry average of 20-25 years for similar investment assets and signals both parties' confidence in the revival of the large conference format after the Covid pandemic and also Amsterdam's high ranking as a location on the European business convention map. The Maritim Hotel is due to open its doors in 2023.

The four-star hotel will offer 579 rooms in a 110-metre tower, the third highest in Amsterdam, and is combined with a conference and congress centre with the capacity to host over 4,400 people in 18 conference rooms, Haal 1 for up to 2,200 people, making it the second largest such venue in the city after the RAI exhibition and convention centre on the Dutch capital's southern fringe. The integration of the hotel and convention space in the same building, also make this the largest venue of its type by room keys in the European convention market. The Maritim Hotel is twinned with the Yvie residential tower being built next to it and which will offer 176 permanent rental apartments and a further 120 available for extended stays.
