IHG Hotels & Resorts has launched its Candlewood Suites brand in Europe by opening a hotel in Berlin, Germany. This is the first Candlewood Suites property to open outside of the Americas, and is part of a dual-brand project with NOVUM Hospitality.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has taken its first steps into Europe with the launch of its Candlewood Suites brand, marking the debut of its midscale long-stay brand in the region. The first property, Candlewood Suites Berlin Charlottenburg, has opened in Germany in partnership with NOVUM Hospitality, one of Europe’s leading private hotel operators.
The Berlin Charlottenburg property forms part of a dual-brand project, sharing its location with the newly opened Holiday Inn – the niu Flash. Further expansion is planned within Germany, with five more locations set to open in Fürth, Heidelberg, Düsseldorf, Augsburg and Berlin within the year.
Candlewood Suites is an aparthotel brand that offers spacious studios and apartments fully equipped with kitchens. The brand aims to provide guests with the spatial comfort they need to feel at home, offering them the flexibility to cook their meals with in-room kitchen facilities that include a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and coffee and tea-making facilities.
In addition to the in-room amenities, Candlewood Suites properties offer self-service laundry facilities, access to gym facilities and weekly housekeeping services. Guests also have access to the Candlewood Cupboard. This marketplace offers a selection of drinks, snacks, personal essentials for purchase, and quality bean-to-cup coffee and tea available around the clock.
The Candlewood Suites Berlin Charlottenburg is the first Candlewood Suites property to open outside of the Americas and adds to IHG’s global portfolio of over 395 Candlewood Suites hotels. The property is centrally located in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district on Franklinstraße.
Upcoming openings include Candlewood Suites Fürth, located near supermarkets and shopping centers; Candlewood Suites Heidelberg in the Quartier am Turm district; Candlewood Suites Düsseldorf Airport; Candlewood Suites Augsburg in Regensburger; and Candlewood Suites Berlin Airport, set to open in Q3 this year. These properties have been converted from NOVUM Hospitality’s acora Living the City and Novum hotel brands, following a long-term agreement to bring 13 Candlewood Suites hotels to Germany.
