| Tweet |
Accor has opened an ibis hotel in Munich, Germany, that takes the economy chain's total room count above the 100,000 mark. In addition, the new Munich ibis City West features the unit's updated reception area design, as well as its first Oopen restaurant.
The reception area, the bar, the salon and the “Business Corner” - a work area offering free access to the Internet - offer ergonomic furniture and “a contemporary and harmonious ambiance,” Accor says. The new Oopen restaurant, which Accor describes as featuring a “peaceful and modern design,” allows clients to create their own meals using an assortment of pasta, grilled fish and meets, which are then cooked before their eyes by a chef.
“Our goal is to reinforce our position as a leader in mature European markets and to acquire significant market share in emerging regions, where ibis' goal is to become the reference point for economical hotels with quality services at the best local prices," says Frederic Josenhans, senior vice president of marketing and brand development for Accor Hospitality.
Founded in 1974, the ibis chain has 847 hotels in 43 countries.
