Just 70 days before the grand opening of the second angelo hotel in Munich, Vienna International Hotels & Resorts celebrated the occasion on 25 October 2012 with more than 200 guests and offered a look behind the scenes of the future design hotel. When it opens, the 4-star angelo Hotel Munich Westpark will create 60 new jobs. The success story goes on: In addition to the existing angelo Hotel on Leuchtenbergring, work is proceeding at full throttle to complete the second angelo Hotel Munich at Westpark. Some 200 curious guests celebrated the construction of the second angelo in the hotel’s future conference area. The stage was truly unique, with the conference area converted into a party location which could not have been more contrasting: raw concrete walls and floors met coherent lighting concepts, and the construction site was temporarily draped in a designer dress. Jazz music, a flying buffet and delicious delicacies from the grill, along with speeches by Vienna International board member Martin H. Lachout and General Manager Marcel Koburger, made the guests even more curious and excited about the coming grand opening. Showrooms, tours and projections gave the visitors a foretaste of what the hotel will look like 70 days from now.

“We have prepared ourselves for many guests in the future, from city tourists to business travellers, companies and event agencies, and we are looking forward to opening another hotel in Munich,” says Dr. Andreas Karsten, CEO of Vienna International Hotelmanagement AG. “Until then, we will create another 60 jobs in addition to the existing team of dedicated employees.”

“We are especially pleased that the entire real estate development on the property was so positively received by the market,” says Münchner Grund board member Thomas Maier. All 26 flats for owner occupation were sold before the completion of construction and tenants have already been found for most of the office space. “We are also extremely confident that the angelo Hotel Munich Westpark will cover the urgent need for high-quality accommodation and conference space in the south of Munich.”
