Cheers to 25 years of MEININGER Hotels

Do you remember 1999? "The Matrix" was blowing our minds, everyone was debating whether Rachel and Ross were really on a break, and Britney was everywhere, singing "Hit me baby one more time." It was also the year MEININGER Hotels hit Berlin for the first time!

Now, 25 years, 36 hotels and 26 cities later (and growing!), we’re still rocking that hybrid hotel formula. We're proud to be the go-to spot for everyone—from solo adventurers to big families and more—thanks to our awesome team that makes it all happen. Who knew a trip back in ’99 would spark something this big?!

So, how did it all start?
