A new entry NOVUM Select: The four-star brand of NOVUM Group Hotels takes over a fine addition with the Columbia Hotel in Rüsselsheim. The 151-room hotel has now been acquired by the privately-owned, Hamburg-based hotel group. After extensive renovations and reconstructions, it is expected to reopen its doors in early February 2017.

Additionally, the hotel group strategically expands the market strength in its Novum Style brand, with the addition of the NOVUM Style Hotel Hamburg Horn, including 160 rooms.

"The hotel, operated for many years by Columbia Group, ideally complements our NOVUM Select properties in the financially robust region of Rhine-Main”, explains David Etmenan, CEO of NOVUM Group. The NOVUM Hotel Group portfolio in the Rhine-Main area grows to six properties.

The NOVUM Select Hotel Rüsselsheim will now be extensively renovated in cooperation with the owner, the Dr. Peters Group, and reconstructed for an optimal business operation, adjusted to the standards of NOVUM Select. CBRE Hotels exclusively advised the Dr. Peters Group on the lease of the former Columbia Hotel Rüsselsheim to NOVUM Hotel Group.

The tradition-steeped Hotel Handelshof in Essen counts among the NOVUM Select Hotels, which is set to open its gates in November 2016.

The NOVUM Hotel Group network expands ever further – throughout Europe. Only recently, seven sleepNsmile Hotels were acquired and additional hotel projects with notable franchise partners like Accor were announced.

David Etmenan, CEO of NOVUM Group, will present more details on the Group’s future expansion at the world’s leading real estate exhibition Expo Real in Munich (4th-6th October 2016). For a personal exchange, you can visit the NOVUM Hotel Group stand in hall C2 at stand number 130.
