Bauhaus-inspired design with a contemporary twist

Designed by Kitzig Interior Architects in collaboration with Grimbach Nogales Hochbauarchitekten, Me and All Hotel Leipzig draws inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, one of Germany's most influential design traditions. The hotel blends clean architectural lines with organic forms, creating spaces that feel both contemporary and welcoming.

Bauhaus-inspired artistic influences can be found throughout the property, creating an environment that celebrates both Leipzig's cultural heritage and its forward-looking spirit.

A social hub for guests and locals alike

At the heart of the Me and All Hotel Leipzig is Biladi & All, a vibrant social hub where hotel guests and locals come together to enjoy handcrafted drinks, authentic Neapolitan pizza and unforgettable experiences. The culinary focus is on authentic Neapolitan pizza, prepared using traditional methods with carefully selected ingredients and long-fermented dough, then baked at high temperatures to achieve its characteristic light, airy crust and unmistakable flavour.

As the hotel's lively bar and event venue, Biladi & All comes alive throughout the day and well into the evening. Guests can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, local beers and a carefully curated drinks selection, while regular DJ sessions, live entertainment and community events create an energetic yet welcoming atmosphere. More than just a restaurant, Biladi & All is a place where food, music and people come together—reflecting the vibrant spirit of Leipzig and the Me and All Hotels brand.

The relaxed atmosphere reflects the brand's community-driven approach, with regular programming and social experiences creating a dynamic environment throughout the day and into the evening.

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today opens the first Holiday Inn – the niu property in Germany, Holiday Inn - the niu Cure, Erlangen, marking the debut of the collaboration between Holiday Inn and the niu.

Situated in the historic town of Erlangen, Holiday Inn – the niu Cure takes its design cues from the city’s well-known affiliation with medicine and medical technology. The name "Cure" pays homage to the medical progress of the city, which is reflected in the design ethos of the hotel. The use of ring-shaped pendant lamps, a warm pine-green and wood colour palette combined with natural materials throughout the hotel’s furnishings all aim to help promote relaxation and recuperation. Like all Holiday Inn – the niu properties, the 177 room Holiday Inn – the niu Cure is designed to be stylish and homely, while providing guests with all the comforts needed to refresh and recharge – including free wi-fi, smart TV with screen mirroring, blackout curtains and a hot buffet breakfast.

Samira Said, CEO NOVUM Hospitality, added: “Since signing our long-term agreement with IHG Hotels & Resorts in April of this year, we have achieved remarkable progress in a relatively short period of time. Seeing this collaboration come to fruition has been a genuine pleasure, as it highlights a strategic milestone in our company’s history. We are beyond proud of what our teams – both at IHG and NOVUM Hospitality – have accomplished in the past weeks and months.”

As with Holiday Inn’s Open Lobby concept, all Holiday Inn – the niu hotels have ‘Living Lobbies’ - feel-good oases to help guests unwind and relax or serve as a great co-working space. The onsite bar lounge area is the perfect place to round off the day with a drink and some light bites and the hotel’s 24hour Lobby Shop offers a selection of snacks available to purchase including confectionery and savoury snacks.

German hospitality industry still far below pre-crisis revenues

The German hotel and restaurant industry in July further recovered from its slump caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but sales were still down more than a quarter when compared to pre-crisis levels, the statistics office said on Tuesday.

Revenues were up 21.9% month-on-month in real terms when adjusted for seasonal effects and declined by 26.8% versus July 2019, the office said in a statement.

Catering companies were hardest hit with a decline of 41.9% on the year.

The sector was essentially shut down in March as Germany’s 16 states introduced wide-ranging distancing measures to slow the spread of the pandemic.

Some restaurants temporarily closed while others switched to take-away services to stay afloat. Hotels were hit by a slump in leisure travel and cancelled trade fairs and congresses.

How the hotel’s facilities could be used without compromising social distancing. One guest room had been adapted by removing the usual decorative cushions, stationery articles and bathrobes. The TV remote control and all the glasses in the room itself and in the bathroom were disinfected after use and packed away in a paper bag. Despite the reduction in the number of utensils provided in the room, guests are, of course, welcome to request any additional items they need at any time.
