Top locations with above-average development potential are seen in the A locations Hamburg and Munich as well as in the B locations Bremen and Nuremberg. Only 13 percent of international hotel chains rate Berlin‘s potential as "above-average" and only 26 percent of project developers - despite the rapid growth in the number of beds there over recent years.
