Hospitality operator Hotel Co 51 has boosted its German presence with the opening of Moxy Dortmund City and Residence Inn by Marriott Dortmund City, its second dual-brand development in the country.

The newly-built hotels combine two complementary Marriott International brands under one roof, the 191-room Moxy Dortmund City which includes 36 twin and 154 Queen guestrooms and the 120-suite Residence Inn Dortmund City aparthotel which offers two studio sizes.

The Moxy Dortmund City becomes Hotel Co 51’s eleventh Moxy hotel in Germany, making the group the largest franchise operator for the Moxy Hotels brand in Europe. Furthermore, Hotel Co 51 now operates 2,530 rooms across 13 hotels and two dual-brand developments in Germany.

Guests staying at both hotels are able to take advantage of the Residence Inn Bistro, a casual dining space which is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a well-equipped 24/7 gym. In addition to onsite car parking for 18 vehicles, the dual-hotel complex also offers 50 bicycle parking spaces.

The design at Moxy Dortmund City incorporates Bauhaus elements, including a copper bar, in a nod to the neighbouring brewery’s history, as well as photographic memorabilia, in homage to Dortmund-based Annelise Kretschmer, one of Germany’s most revered photographers.

The dual-branded property is in the heart of Dortmund, close to the main shopping area, railway station and the German Football museum, and within easy access of the Messe Westfalenhallen Dortmund exhibition centre.

As Hotel Co 51’s third dual-brand hotel complex in Europe, and our second in Germany, we know there is a growing appetite for more flexible styles of accommodation in prime city centre locations. By pairing the lifestyle Moxy brand with Residence Inn by Marriott’s spacious suites, we’re delighted to be helping our guests find the hotel style that best suits their individual needs, whether they’re visiting for a few days or several weeks.

Morana Rabatic Andric, Regional Director of Operations for Hotel Co 51

Hotel Co 51 has appointed Lars Krimmel as the Cluster Hotel Manager for both hotels. He brings 22 years’ hospitality experience to the role, including having previously led operations at two other Moxy properties in Germany.

In the last three months, Hotel Co 51 has opened five hotels across four cities in three European countries. These include three Marriott-branded properties in Germany, following the October opening of the Moxy Berlin Airport.
