Berlin: Accor planning three hotels on Adenauerplatz
Accor Group is planning three hotels on the north side of Adenauerplatz in Berlin's Charlottenburg district. The Accor houses with the brand names Etap, Ibis, and Suitehotel are projected in new buildings on Lewishamstraße and Wilmersdorfer Straße, the daily newspaper Der Tagesspiegel reports. Accor recently presented its concept to the district’s planning committee. While there is no leasing contract with the landowner as yet, Accor has already issued a declaration of intention and is also considering the purchase of the plots, Der Tagesspiegel says. Ideally, commencement of construction could be in February, 2009; the opening of the hotels with a total of some 440 rooms and an underground garage with 133 parking places would be possible a year later. Accor is already operating a comparable three-house hotel park on Stresemannstraße in Berlin's Kreuzberg district.
