Hannover

Completed in January 2026, this 220-room hotel occupies a nine-storey building in the heart of Hannover, directly opposite the central station. The property has been leased to Premier Inn on a 25-year term, securing a long-term income stream from one of Europe’s most recognised hospitality brands.

The project involved transforming a vacant office building acquired in 2019, breathing new life into an underutilised asset in a prime city-centre location. The scheme achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification, setting a high benchmark for sustainable hospitality development.

Düsseldorf

We’ve developed a new 438-room hotel next to Düsseldorf’s central station, operated on a 25-year lease contract by Hamburg based Novum Hospitality. Branded ‘The Niu’, the hotel covers 236,806 sq ft over 13 floors and features a large terrace overlooking the city’s Burgerpark, a co-working space and over 100 parking places. The building, constructed in natural stone, has been awarded a BREEAM ‘very good’ rating. The Niu has been welcoming guests since July 2021.

Lübeck

In the autumn of 2024, we successfully wrapped up our hospitality project: a 203-room hotel in Lübeck, the second-largest city on the German Baltic coast.

Citygrove purchased the site, which had previously been a surface-level car park adjacent to the city’s central station, back in 2010. After securing the necessary building permits, we successfully pre-let the hotel to Premier Inn on a 25-year lease.

Lübeck, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands out as one of Northern Germany’s most well-preserved ancient towns, and the hotel is quickly becoming a favourite among leisure and business travellers.

The professional team that brought this project to life included HTG Hoch und Tiefbau Gadebusch GmbH and Cumming Group. Additionally, the development earned a BREEAM excellent accreditation for its impressive sustainability features.
