This Saturday, Leonardo Hotels Central Europe will proudly join the Christopher Street Day Parade in Berlin for the very first time. Around 30 colleagues from across Leonardo Hotels Central Europe will march together under the NYX Hotels banner – our lifestyle brand celebrating individuality, creativity and self-expression – to send a clear message for diversity, respect and inclusion. Diversity is not a one-day event or a campaign for us. It is part of who we are. With employees from more than 100 nations, we believe that different backgrounds, perspectives and identities make us stronger. Our participation in CSD Berlin is a visible expression of this commitment. By taking part in CSD Berlin, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to creating spaces where everyone, guests and colleagues alike, feels welcome, respected and safe. A heartfelt thank you to all colleagues who will represent Leonardo Hotels Central Europe this weekend. We wish everyone celebrating a joyful and inspiring Pride! 🌈 #CSDBerlin #Pride #Diversity #LeonardoHotels #NYXHotels #BeYourself #Hospitality #HaltungIstHot Picture copyright © Leonardo Hotels Central Europe

Exciting news: The acquisition of our first hotel in New York marks our entry into the U.S. market — a major milestone in our journey toward becoming a truly global hospitality group.
Another significant step in our international growth and expansion strategy. We are proud to announce the acquisition of our first hotel in the United States, a strategic move that marks Fattal Hotels Group's entry into the U.S. hospitality market. Today, we operate and own 329 hotels across 22 countries, including our flagship brand, Leonardo Hotels. Today, we signed an agreement to acquire The Blakely Hotel in Midtown Manhattan for approximately $38.5 million. This marks our first investment in the US market and represents a major milestone in our growth journey, supporting our vision of becoming a truly global hospitality group with a presence in the world's leading markets. Located on West 55th Street in the heart of Manhattan, The Blakely features 117 guestrooms, including 42 spacious suites. Following the completion of the acquisition, the hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation, refurbishment, and repositioning programme, supported by an estimated $13 million investment. The property is expected to reopen in mid-2027 under one of the Group's established brands. David Fattal, Founder and CEO of Fattal Hotels Group, said: "Entering the U.S. market is a landmark moment for Fattal Hotels Group and an important strategic step in our continued international growth. New York is one of the world's most important hospitality markets and the ideal location for our first property in the United States. Over the years, we have built a strong presence in key European cities and developed a diverse portfolio of hospitality brands that serve both business and leisure travellers. Our expansion into New York marks the next stage in our evolution into a truly global hotel group." We are excited about this important milestone and look forward to welcoming guests to the newly transformed hotel in Manhattan in 2027.

A new hotel. A new brand. A strong statement. With the opening of Leonardo Smart Vienna Airport, we are celebrating two milestones: the launch of our new brand Leonardo Smart and the realization of an outstanding new hotel at one of Europe’s most important mobility hubs. The new property represents a forward-looking hospitality concept that combines functionality, smart services and sustainable timber architecture. With 510 rooms, it is one of the largest hotels of its kind in the world and a powerful example of modern, resource-efficient construction. Projects of this scale are only possible through strong partnerships. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Günther Ofner, CEO Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport Wien AG and Herbert Pinzolits, owner and CEO Mamma Group for their trustful collaboration and the successful realization of this project. Today’s official opening ceremony was attended also by Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria, underlining the importance of this project for the region and beyond. Designed with the needs of today’s travellers in mind, the hotel offers a seamless and flexible experience with 24/7 self-service options, including self check-in and round-the-clock amenities, enabling guests to move at their own pace – quickly, independently and efficiently. This opening marks an important strategic step for Leonardo Hotels and further strengthens our footprint in Austria. We now operate eleven hotels across the country, including 2 master Serviced Apartments and five Hotels in Vienna. At the same time, Vienna Airport becomes the international showcase for our new Leonardo Smart brand, designed for modern, mobile travellers seeking effortless, uncomplicated stays. We are excited to open this new chapter with Leonardo Smart – and to bring it to life at Vienna Airport for an international audience.

Digitalisation is most valuable when it creates more time for personalised services. At Leonardo Hotels Central Europe, we have introduced a new digital solution for Convention Sales across all our hotels. By standardising and simplifying quotation processes, we are reducing administrative effort and creating more time for what matters most: supporting our customers and delivering successful events. With almost 500 meeting rooms and around 26,000 events hosted each year, efficient processes are essential. The new system helps our teams respond more quickly, work more consistently and focus on providing personalised customer support rather than managing manual workflows. A big thank you to Lisa Mager and our #ConventionSales colleagues for for embracing this change and to Proposales for the successful partnership.

Köln is a place where centuries of history meet creative energy, where the Rhine shapes the rhythm of daily life, and where every neighbourhood tells its own story. With four Leonardo Hotels in Cologne, we are part of this urban landscape – offering guests a comfortable base to explore the city from different perspectives. From the vibrant Veedels and the creative energy of Ehrenfeld, to the iconic Cologne Cathedral, the historic Old Town, and the city’s rich cultural scene: Cologne is best discovered step by step. And when it’s time to pause, the city opens up green spaces along the Rhine and within its parks, offering moments of calm in the middle of urban life. Our four Leonardo Hotels in Cologne provide the space in between: modern, welcoming bases where guests can arrive, recharge and continue exploring. The recently renovated Leonardo Köln reflects this approach: contemporary design, functional comfort, and a location that connects seamlessly to the city.
