A qualitative offer that is being "democratized"

The Munich metropolitan area accounts for around 10% of the total number of hotel chain supply in Germany, a share that will increase in 2019 due to the growth of hotel chains in the area: +5.6% in 2018, for a net gain of 1,648 rooms. The total number of rooms is 30,913, spread across 171 properties (MKG Consulting Database, January 2019).

In 2018, Munich's hotel offering experienced key developments in the Economy segment, notably with the opening of a ninth Motel One establishment, Motel One München-Messe (310 rooms). Hilton launched the new Hampton by Hilton Munich City West (228 rooms), right next to the Donnersbergerbrücke. As part of a partnership between Meininger Hotels and Covivio, the opening of the 172-room Olympiapark by Meininger Hotel Munich was postponed until early 2019.

In 2018, several hotel changes took place, starting with the transformation of the Premiere Classe into B&B München-Putzbrunn (86 rooms), which followed the acquisition by B&B. In addition, Golden Leaf Hotels & Residences, whose portfolio comprises 4 hotels and 174 rooms, was renamed Blattl Hotels.

The Midscale segment developed more actively during the same year. Several openings took place: the Moxy Munich-Messe (186 rooms) of the Marriott International Group, the Ruby Lilly Hotel Munich of the Ruby Hotels Group (174 rooms), the Dormero Hotel München-Kirchheim-Messe (143 rooms) of the Gold Inn Group, the Centro Hotel Mondial (57 rooms), the Hilton Garden Inn Munich City West (128 rooms), and the Courtyard of the Marriott Oberpfaffenhofen Group (174 rooms).

Holiday Inn has become this year's leader in the Midscale segment (13.8% brand share in the segment) due to the transformation of the Angelo Hotel Munich in Vienna House into the 279-room Holiday Inn Munich Leuchtenbergring.
