Munich. This hotel property has been in the headlines since its announcement – through the lawsuit of its neighbour Bayerischer Hof. At least now, an operator has been found for the Schoerghuber property: Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, with only 21 hotels worldwide will operate this "ultra-luxury hotel" at this top location. This way, the brand takes its first step into Germany, thus gaining a further foothold in Continental Europe.

The group, which manages assets valued over 800 million euros and introduces itself as the 5th largest hotel company in France, was placed under court supervised administration last Thursday November 24.

Berlin. The market for Serviced Apartments is exploding, and hotel groups have begun to pile into the segment. The number of providers and operators is extremely varied, but here the big chains are soon likely to put the fear into the small operators. In Germany alone, the market is expected to count around 40% more units by 2019. The apartments themselves are getting increasingly small though. This is compensated by creative service offerings and snazzily designed public spaces. Here, the small operators lead the way. And that's precisely what they have to do, as the potential revealed by the segment is increasingly attracting the big market players.

Augsburg/Hamburg. Despite demand pressure on the German hotel market, C locations will not become the new B locations. The current INVESTMENT BAROMETER Autumn 2017 by hospitalityInside.com and Union Investment places clear emphasis on B locations.

However, expectations as revealed by the individual indices have shifted somewhat when compared to the previous year.
