February 9, 2016 – The NOVUM Group has come to terms for the acquisition of the Hotel Mariella in Cologne, in close proximity to Cologne Bonn Airport, on 1st March 2016.

The former Mercure Hotel becomes the 64th property in the NOVUM portfolio and will operate as "NOVUM Hotel Mariella Airport".

"The new property in Cologne perfectly complements our existing three hotels in the Cologne market and contributes another significant step towards our expansion route. I am glad to emphasize the individuality of our hotels with this addition", says David Etmenan, CEO of the NOVUM Group.

The hotel comprises 77 stylishly furnished rooms, which impart a modern flair. Three air-conditioned conference rooms, a hotel-owned underground car park and its central location make this property the ideal business hotel.

The hotel is situated in the southern suburb Porz, next to the river Rhine , making it the ideal starting point for all the city's hotspots.
