German hotel group Motel One is to open two new hotels in London later this year as part of a major expansion across Europe.
The company, which operates both the Motel One and Cloud One brands, will unveil new properties in the Old Street and Hyde Park areas of London in late 2024.
Motel One already operates a property in the Tower Hill area of central London. The new Old Street hotel, which is due to open in winter 2024, will offer 237 rooms, while the Hyde Park location will have 197 rooms when it debuts in autumn 2024.
The two additional properties in London will take the group’s total portfolio in the UK and Ireland up to 11 hotels. Motel One also has properties in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and Dublin.
Last month, the Munich-based group announced plans to open 13 new hotels under its Cloud One lifestyle brand by 2026, including its third global location in the Czech capital Prague opening this spring, plus further Cloud One hotels in Dusseldorf and Lisbon later in the year.
The Motel One brand will also launch a new hotel in Gdansk, Poland, this summer, as well as properties in the Belgian city of Antwerp (opening in autumn 2024) and Karlsruhe in Germany in March 2024.
Daniel Müller, co-CEO of Motel One, said: “As we move into a very exciting chapter of growth, the Motel One Group is looking forward to adding eight new European hotels to our expanding portfolio this year.
“From the vibrant streets of Prague to the historic charm of London, we are committed to providing an exceptional experience every time for every guest.
“Our expansion marks our dedication to our guests’ experience but also reinforces our global growth, reaching new heights with our first venture into the busy, dynamic country of Portugal.”
