Tourexpi
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:
H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise
agreement with a subsidiary of Lindner Hotel Group for the Me and All Hotel
Flims. Nestled in the Grisons Alps, Me and All Hotel Flims is the brand’s first
property outside Germany and the first to open since Me and All Hotels became a
standalone brand within Hyatt’s global Lifestyle portfolio.
Me
and All Hotel Flims will be the fifth Hyatt-branded hotel in Switzerland,
spanning 73 keys split between 47 guestrooms and 26 apartments. In a prime
location with stunning alpine scenery and year-round recreational
opportunities, the property will cater to leisure travelers and serve as an
ideal venue for corporate retreats and events. The area is home to one of
Switzerland’s largest ski destinations, the Flims-Laax-Falera resort, with 136
miles of slopes and 205 miles of bike trails for off-season adventures. The
destination has easy rail and road access from the city of Zurich and the
Zurich Airport.
“This
hotel represents a significant milestone as Me and All Hotels’ first venture
beyond Germany, marking an important step in Hyatt’s ambitious expansion plans
for the brand,” said Michel Morauw, Managing Director North EAME, Hyatt. “True
to the brand’s DNA, Me and All Hotel Flims will serve as a community hub in
this vibrant mountain town.”
This
opening sets the stage for the expansion of the conversion-friendly Me and All
Hotels brand across Europe and beyond. With six properties currently operating
in Germany, the brand known for blending local flair, community spirit and
modern convenience is well-positioned for rapid growth in a growing lifestyle
segment. Me and All Hotels feature a lean operating model, dynamic public areas
and flexible design, making them adept to both conversions and new builds in
primary and secondary urban and resort locations.
“Our
ambition has always been to see Me and All Hotels beyond Germany’s borders, and
we’re thrilled that the brand’s first hotel to open since joining Hyatt will
debut in Switzerland. This hotel will offer a distinctive food and beverage
experience, activated public spaces, and unique entertainment options, with an
in-house cinema playing a central role,” said Jörg Lindner, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of the Lindner Hotel Group.
A
taste of the world at the heart of the Alps
The
hotel will feature spacious culinary concepts, offering a blend of Swiss,
Mediterranean, Lebanese and Japanese cuisines. As it enters this new chapter, a
focus on sustainable, locally sourced ingredients will showcase the local
heroes behind Alpine food craftsmanship.
Immersive
common spaces for wellbeing and entertainment
One
of the hotel’s biggest draws will be its vibrant communal spaces, brought to
life year-round with dynamic entertainment programming. For those looking to
soak in the breathtaking Alpine views, Me and All Hotel Flims will feature a
sun deck overlooking the majestic peaks as well as après-ski, complete with DJ
sets, masterclasses and more. Another standout feature will be the in-house
cinema, a multi-purpose venue equipped with state-of-the-art technology
designed for movie screenings, immersive events and meetings.
MICE
facilities for a true 360° offering
The
spa and fitness area will span over 9,149 square feet, as well as flexible
meeting and conference spaces, including 1,442 square feet of dedicated meeting
rooms including the multi-functional screening rooms.
These
highly versatile features and menu of activities will offer guests the
opportunity to work out or unwind after a day of skiing or mountain biking,
while also catering to those seeking unique venues for meetings, incentives,
conferences and exhibitions.
“Me
and All Hotel Flims exemplifies the brand’s conversion-friendliness, with
remarkable flexibility to adapt to both urban and resort destinations to create
a space where locals and guests can come together to connect,” said Briana
Swift, RVP Development, Northern Europe, Hyatt. “Switzerland is a natural
market for the Me and All Hotel brand’s debut beyond Germany, and we remain
committed to exploring opportunities to expand the brand across the wider DACH
region and greater Europe.”
