MEININGER Hotels

MEININGER Hotels operates a hybrid hotel-hostel brand, combining hotel-quality service with the social atmosphere and pricing of a hostel. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the company runs more than 37 properties across 27 cities in 13 countries, including Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Vienna and Milan, and serves millions of guests each year. Its accommodation ranges from private rooms in central city locations to flexible dormitory-style rooms aimed at backpackers, school groups and budget travellers, supported by shared kitchens, game zones and communal lounges.

The company employs more than 600 people and targets a guest base spanning solo travellers, families, business travellers and group or school trips. Its properties are positioned in central locations at competitive prices, and the shared-facility concept is designed to encourage interaction between guests of different types.

MEININGER has stated an expansion target of 50 hotels by 2030. Roles across the business span property operations, front office, housekeeping, food and beverage and central functions, within a growth-oriented and entrepreneurial culture built on the original insight of filling a gap between hotels and hostels.
