NOVUM Hospitality develops one of the largest niu hotels at the Dusseldorf hub

Over 5 million overnight stays – that"s this year"s extremely positive forecast for the hotel market in Dusseldorf. The steadily growing numbers as well as the increase in particularly international overnight stays offer NOVUM Hospitality an ideal environment for its young midscale concept niu. Together with the proprietor and developer Peker GmbH, as well as RKW+ Architekten, the family-run hotel group is planning a niu called niu Hubbetween the city and airport on the Vogelsanger Weg – an ideal location for not only business travellers. As things stand at present, the niu hotel will open in spring 2021 – with 226 hotel rooms and 201 apartments, one of the largest of the currently 50+ planned niu hotels. "Dusseldorf has again achieved a record figure for overnight stays: we want to be a part of this and are certain that our urban concept with individual storytelling in a living-room atmosphere at a very fair price-performance ratio resonates with the spirit of the times," explains David Etmenan, the CEO and owner of NOVUM Hospitality.

In this temple to the art of life, led by Design Hotels™ Originals Marc Ciunis, Carsten von der Heide, and Anne-Marie Bauer, guests are welcomed to another realm, where the outside world has no choice but to wait.www.designhotels.com/tortue-hamburg
