Bern: SV Hotel plans second "Stay Koook" hotel
SV Hotel is planning a second location of its "Stay Kooook" brand in downtown Bern. The first house will open this year in Wankdorf.
The first two locations of the "Stay Koook" brand will open in 2020 in Bern-Wankdorf and 2021 in Nuremberg. The next two properties will be in downtown Bern and Leipzig, SV Hotel says.
In downtown Bern, the hotel group plans to renovate and modernize two historic buildings, in some cases retaining historic wall paneling, radiators and parquet flooring. A total of 85 rooms are planned, as well as a roof terrace accessible exclusively to residents. The hotel is scheduled to open in 2022.
In Leipzig, SV Hotel wants to build a new building directly next to the Schauspielhaus and set up 64 studios, the majority with balconies, and 70 rooms there. This opening is also planned for 2022.
The concept of "Stay Koook" includes fully equipped studios for medium and longer stays and new rooms equipped with smart home technology. Common areas include a dining room with kitchen that can also be used as a coworking, workshop or meeting space, a living room, a loggia and a game room.
SV Hotel is part of the SV Group and operates the Marriott brands Courtyard, Residence Inn, Renaissance and Moxy in Switzerland and Germany as a franchisee. The portfolio also includes La Pergola in Bern and Amaris in Olten. Nine hotel projects are currently in the planning stage; in Switzerland, these include a Moxy hotel in Bern and the two Stay Kooook properties in Bern-Wankdorf and Bern city center. (ah)
