Renovation during ongoing Operation

From December 2023 to June 2024, we completely renovated all 116 guest apartments while the property remained open, according to the plans of the Hamburg office JOI Design. The rooms and bathrooms appear in timeless elegance with a clear black and white contrast. In the bathrooms, the bathtubs have been replaced with spacious, walk-in showers, enhancing both convenience and accessibility for all guests. Since the studios are mainly booked by long-stay guests, each apartment was given a fully equipped kitchenette.

Last but not least, we renovated the fitness and public areas, which were reopened in time for the European Football Championship with a new table football.

The particular challenge of this project was to carry out the renovation while the hotel remained in operation, ensuring minimal disruption to guests and maintaining the customer experience standards of Citadines. In addition, there was no storage space at Olivaer Platz or in the hotel itself, so we had to deliver all materials to the construction site just in time.
