New openings across Germany
Ibis Styles Neckarsulm: Now open
The Ibis Styles Neckarsulm has reopened following a complete renovation of the former Nestor Hotel. The property, now part of the Ibis Styles brand under Accor and operated by The Chocolate on the Pillow Group, introduces a design concept reflecting elements of the city’s automotive history and regional wine culture.
The 97-room hotel features interiors that reference local themes. Public areas incorporate visual nods to the region’s wine tradition, including wine barrels and sepia-toned artwork. The design was developed by Brumann Innenarchitektur, based in Ascheberg.
As part of the refurbishment, the hotel has also expanded its room offering to include family rooms, accessible rooms, and compact suites. Guests have access to a fitness space equipped with Technogym machines. The property also supports sustainable travel through electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle storage facilities. Guests can enjoy a locally inspired breakfast and a comfortable, eco-friendly environment.

Addressing Growing Demand for Budget-Friendly Travel
Accor’s expansion in Germany comes in response to increasing demand for budget-friendly accommodation options. A recent study by Accor found that 88% of travelers are actively seeking ways to reduce their travel expenses, with 23% of German respondents noting that choosing cheaper accommodations is a key strategy for managing costs. By expanding its economy portfolio, Accor aims to provide travelers with accessible options that offer modern design and reliable service.
These new Ibis-branded hotels will meet the needs of both business and leisure travelers, helping Accor strengthen its position in the economy hotel market in Germany.
