Managing Director Central and Northern Europe
Almost exactly 40 years after its opening on the 1st of July 1985, one of Vienna’s most renowned hotels is changing hands. With 328 rooms and suites, the property was the first Marriott hotel in the German-speaking region and has since become a key player in the Viennese hotel market. The hotel will continue to be operated under a long-term management agreement by Marriott International.
Lukas Hochedlinger - Managing Director for Hotels in Central & Northern Europe at Christie & Co, comments, “This transaction is among the most significant hotel sales in recent years and highlights the attractiveness of the Austrian hotel investment market. Vienna, in particular, remains a focal point for international investors – as reflected in the strong interest throughout the sales process. It was an honour to support CPI Europe in the sale of this trophy asset.”
Legal and tax advisory services for the seller were provided by BPV Hügel.
