We are very pleased that we will now be able to welcome you back to our hotels. Depending on the individual federal state in which they are located, our hotels will gradually be available again for leisure travel from May onwards. We have been undertaking detailed preparations for this step over the past few weeks. Comprehensive protection plans for our hotels and restaurants have been submitted to the Federal Government, and all of these have been approved. We have done our utmost to ensure that you will enjoy the highest possible level of safety and comfort when you stay at our hotels. The measures we are introducing will inevitably mean some restrictions to the services we offer, for example in areas such as gastronomy, meetings & events or spa & wellness. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Your health and the health of our staff and partners is our highest priority at all times and in all respects. This has always been one of our company’s core commitments.

The new guidelines introduced by Deutsche Hospitality stipulate the revision and adaptation of all hygiene and disinfection measures, specific training for every member of staff and regular checks and monitoring of the measures put in place. Two key points are more frequent cleaning and disinfection and social distancing rules in public areas. Our hotels are also in permanent contact with the relevant local government authorities. The minimum measures currently being implemented are as follows.

Please find the current rebooking and cancellation rules in the statement of the Deutsche Hospitality.
