ibis is developing innovative interior design and restaurant designs in order to continue to satisfy its evergrowing clientele around the world, while also adding some local touches and specific additions, such as swimming pools or mini-bars in the rooms of those hotels located in warmer climates.

For the first time in Germany this ibis design will be available in ibis City West Hotel in Munich. This room design is currently applied in other hotels around the world. Through construction and renovation of its hotels, 24 000 of these latest generation ibis rooms are already on the market. Their environmental performance was improved thanks to water flow regulators in the bathrooms, low-power light bulbs and wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for furniture and floors.

New common areas

In addition to welcoming the 100,000th ibis room, the Munich ibis City West illustrates the latest generation of ibis hotels with a brand new reception area design, which complements the rooms.

The reception area, the bar, the salon and the "Business Corner," a work area with free access to the internet, offer a contemporary, and harmonious ambiance as well as an ergonomic atmosphere.

World premiere for the Oopen restaurant “live” cooking concept

The new Oopen restaurant is making its worldwide debut at the ibis City West Hotel in Munich. Its peaceful and modern exclusive design invites clients to create their own dishes using an assortment of pasta, grilled fish and meats, which are then cooked before them by the chef, with sauces inspired by local cuisine.

"Our goal is to reinforce our position as a leader in mature European markets and to acquire significant market share in emerging regions, where ibis' goal is to become the reference point for economical hotels with quality services at the best local prices," says Frederic Josenhans, Marketing and Development Director of the Accord Hospitality brand.
