Tourexpi
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H)
announced today the opening of Brunfels Hotel at the center of Mainz’s
enchanting Old Town. The opening marks the latest development in Hyatt’s
continued portfolio growth in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is the
newest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.
The
third Hyatt property in the city, Brunfels Hotel will be an ideal haven for
curious travelers with a love of culture and history. Its opening signals
Hyatt’s ongoing commitment to adding hotels in sought-after destinations
throughout Europe.
The
hotel is a stone’s throw away from world-renowned attractions including the
Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, the ancient Gutenberg Museum and the vibrant
Marktplatz square. Situated on Schillerplatz, the hotel is enviably located for
those looking to wander through the winding streets of a city where music, art
and design converge, and ancient tradition meets contemporary lifestyle. With
the Rhine in walking distance and numerous wine houses nearby, Brunfels Hotel
is the perfect destination from which to explore this captivating city, and
experience the best of its past, present, and future.
“Brunfels
Hotel is a terrific addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand,
combining the magnificent heritage of Mainz with a twist of modern glamour,”
said Holger Hanselmann, General Manager of Brunfels Hotel. “The property
has views of the cathedral yet remains tucked away from the main streets of the
Old Town, making it the ideal stay for travelers looking to soak up the local
atmosphere from a revitalizing retreat.”
Katie
Johnson, Vice President, Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Independent Collection
brands said, “Expanding The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand with a second
opening in Germany highlights our commitment to delivering storyworthy
experiences within our distinct Independent Collection portfolio. This opening
is an important step on that journey, and we are excited for Brunfels Hotel to
welcome travelers this fall and beyond.”
Rooted
in tradition, blossoming with modernity
The
hotel’s design recognizes that Mainz is steeped in tradition yet full of modern
energy, with a 21st century look combined with retro chic elements. In a
nod to its namesake, the renowned botanist Otto Brunfels, the property focuses
on modern artwork inspired by the natural world, with botany-infused touches
subtly woven throughout the lighting, decor, furnishing and operations. The
color palette combines earthy greens, beige and brown to align with the natural
style of the hotel, focusing on comfort and familiarity.
New
technology has also been incorporated into the hotel experience through climate
control features which use air heat pumps and digital check in for seamless
entry.
Rooms
and Meeting Spaces
The
5-story hotel has 127 rooms, with a range of accommodations for families,
couples, and individual travelers alike. Botanical bathroom amenities and a
complimentary mini-bar, alongside tea and coffee amenities, heated floors, and
flat screen TVs make this the perfect place to unwind after a busy day in the
city or exploring the broader delights of Germany’s wine capital.
Hotel
Amenities
Brunfels
Hotel boasts vibrant, community spaces with a warm and retro chic vibe,
including a stunning hidden courtyard—a covered and heated alfresco space with
its own bar that embodies the biophilic spirit of the property. Its private
dining room combines modern sophistication with natural elements to create a
unique atmosphere for meetings, dining, and private events. The central bar is
the heart of the hotel, a convivial space offering botanical-inspired signature
cocktails alongside a curated menu of delectable dishes. The property
collaborates with local producers such as iconic craft brewer Kuehn Kunz Rosen,
Gin distillery Edelranz or coffee roastery Müller.
The
restaurant takes a modern approach to German cuisine, focusing on seasonality
and sourcing with local and regional produce. Its wine selection focuses on
local producers, featuring top German winemakers alongside lesser-known labels.
Proudly
German with a global outlook, the hotel provides an elevated experience for
guests, with personalized service and inspired local recommendations from
multilingual staff, who are ambassadors for the property and the city.
