The Steigenberger Airport Hotel Berlin
ECE and Deutsche Hospitality celebrate the launch of the new Steigenberger Airport Hotel on the occasion of the opening of the capital's airport
Deutsche Hospitality and ECE have opened the new Steigenberger Airport Hotel on the same date that the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) went operational. Together with BER boss Engelbert Lütke Daldrup and accompanied by a welcoming address by Brandenburg's Minister of Economics Jörg Steinbach, Claus-Dieter Jandel, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer of Steigenberger Hotels AG, and Andreas Mattner, Managing Director of ECE Development, symbolically cut the ribbon today to mark the opening of the new building.
The Steigenberger Airport Hotel is the only hotel at the BER which is situated right next to the main terminal. It will be operated on a long-term basis by Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts. The hotel was planned, developed and realised by ECE, a Hamburg-based specialist property developer. ECE is one of the top 3 hotel development companies in the German-speaking countries and had already completed the project by the time when the BER was originally scheduled to open.
The Steigenberger Airport Hotel has 322 sound-proofed rooms and also features an à la carte restaurant with adjoining bar. A spa and health and beauty facility on the fifth floor extends over an area of 300 square metres as well as offering a separate gym. A conference centre with eleven meeting rooms capable of accommodating up to 500 persons provides an ideal and easily accessible airport setting for events, meetings and product presentations.
The Steigenberger Airport Hotel has been awarded a Gold Certificate by German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). This accolade recognizes achievements such as the energy-efficient and functional design of the building, the use of district heating and cooling, the introduction of building automation processes in order to save energy and heat recovery in the ventilation systems.
