The Brunfels Hotel will become part of the award-winning World of Hyatt loyalty program and combines beloved traditions with modern elegance to offer city explorers an upscale experience.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Brunfels Hotel in the center of Mainz’s charming old town. The opening is the latest development in Hyatt’s continued portfolio growth in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and the newest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.
The Brunfels Hotel, the third Hyatt property in the city, is an ideal retreat for curious travelers with a penchant for culture and history. Its opening is a sign of Hyatt’s ongoing commitment to opening hotels in sought-after destinations across Europe.
The hotel is just a stone’s throw from world-famous sights such as the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, the old Gutenberg Museum and the lively market square. Located on Schillerplatz, the hotel is enviable for anyone who wants to stroll through the winding streets of a city where music, art and design come together and ancient tradition meets modern lifestyle. With the Rhine within walking distance and numerous wine houses nearby, the Brunfels Hotel is the perfect base from which to explore this fascinating city and experience the best of its past, present and future.
“The Brunfels Hotel is a great addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, combining the great heritage of Mainz with a touch of modern glamour,” said Holger Hanselmann, General Manager of the Brunfels Hotel. “The property offers views of the cathedral but is tucked away from the main streets of the old town, making it the ideal accommodation for travelers looking to enjoy the local atmosphere of a relaxing retreat.”
Katie Johnson, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Independent Collection brands, said: “Expanding The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand with a second opening in Germany underscores our commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences within our standalone Independent Collection portfolio. This opening is an important step in that journey and we are excited that The Brunfels Hotel will be welcoming travelers this fall and beyond.”
Rooted in tradition, flourishing in modernity
The hotel’s design reflects Mainz’s tradition and at the same time its modern energy. It has a 21st Century look combined with retro-chic elements. In a nod to its namesake, famous botanist Otto Brunfels, the property focuses on modern artwork inspired by nature, with botanically inspired accents subtly woven into the lighting, decor, furnishings and operations. The color palette combines earthy greens, beige and brown to match the hotel’s natural style with an emphasis on comfort and familiarity.
New technologies have also been integrated into the hotel experience, such as air conditioning systems with air heat pumps and digital check-in for smooth access.
Rooms and meeting rooms
The five-storey hotel has 127 rooms and offers a range of accommodation for families, couples and individual travellers. Botanical toiletries in the bathroom and a complimentary minibar, as well as tea and coffee making facilities, underfloor heating and flat-screen TVs make this the perfect place to relax after a busy day in the city or after exploring the wider sights of Germany’s wine capital.
Hotel facilities
Brunfels Hotel offers vibrant common spaces with a warm and chic retro vibe, including a stunning hidden courtyard – a covered and heated outdoor area with its own bar that embodies the biophilic spirit of the property. Its private dining room combines modern elegance with natural elements to create a unique atmosphere for meetings, dinners and private events. The central bar is the heart of the hotel, a convivial space offering botanically inspired cocktails as well as a curated menu of delicious dishes. The property collaborates with local producers such as the legendary craft brewery Kuehn Kunz Rosen, the gin distillery Edelranz or the coffee roastery Müller.
The restaurant offers a modern approach to German cuisine and places emphasis on seasonality and the use of local and regional products. The wine selection focuses on local producers and includes lesser-known brands as well as top winemakers from Germany.
With its German focus and global outlook, the hotel offers guests an upscale experience with personalized service and inspiring local recommendations from multilingual staff who act as ambassadors for the property and the city.
