Scandic To Open New Hotel In Berlin
RLI
Scandic To Open New Hotel In BerlinScandic is continuing to expand at select destinations in Germany and will take over a vacant 214-room hotel, in the western district of downtown Berlin. The company has signed a lease agreement with AXA Investment Managers, and the hotel will be fully renovated and adapted to Scandic’s brand and operational standards. After the opening, Scandic will operate three hotels with a total of 992 rooms in Berlin.  The hotel market in Berlin is one of the largest and most dynamic in Europe, with a strong focus on both leisure and business travelers. Germany’s ever-increasing popularity as a tourist destination, combined with its role as an important hub for business and events, makes the country a key market for Scandic. The lease agreement is the second between Scandic and AXA Investment Managers. The first agreement was signed in the fall 2024 for a hotel in central Stuttgart. – Berlin is an important market for Scandic, where the company already operates two hotels in central locations that attract leisure and corporate guests alike. Berlin’s status as a host city for major trade fairs, conferences and cultural events ensures year-round demand for accommodations. Expanding our collaboration with AXA Investment Managers gives both companies conditions to boost growth in the German market, says Jens Mathiesen, President & CEO at Scandic Hotels Group. The hotel is strategically located near Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s most famous shopping street that attracts many visitors, as well as close to the city’s leading office complexes housing major international companies. After the renovation, the hotel will offer modern meeting facilities, an attractive restaurant and beverage offering as well as a fitness with a sauna. The hotel’s proximity to public transport will also make it convenient for travelers. This is in line with Scandic’s expansion strategy and our ambition to seize and drive growth opportunities in key markets that are attractive to us and our hotel guests. We aim to become one of West Berlin’s most popular hotels for leisure and business travelers. It’s also about building long-term and successful partnerships. This is why it fells so positive to be expanding our collaboration with AXA Investment Managers, says Jesper Engman, Senior Vice President Portfolio Development. The hotel is expected to open during the third quarter 2026. During the renovation, technical and sustainability-related investments in the property will be carried out. The operations of the new hotel will be environmentally certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries. The new hotel will be operated under the Scandic brand, and following the takeover, Scandic will operate nine hotels in Germany with a total of 2,849 rooms.

Volta Council Of State Aspirant Announces Plans For Ghana’S Largest Shopping MallVolta Region’s Council of State aspirant, Dr David Kofi Wuaku, has revealed ambitious plans for the establishment of the country’s largest shopping mall, alongside several other development projects. The initiative is being spearheaded by a group of Turkish investors who visited Ghana last week for high-level meetings and feasibility studies. Dr Wuaku, who has close ties with the investors disclosed that the projects will not only revolutionise the retail and infrastructure landscape but also create millions of direct and indirect jobs for Ghanaian youth. With unemployment being a significant challenge in the country, he believes that such large-scale investments will help stimulate economic growth, enhance local businesses, and improve livelihoods. The Turkish investors engaged with key government officials and stakeholders to discuss potential areas of investment. The meeting focused on strategies to strengthen Ghana-Turkey economic relations and ensure that the upcoming projects align with Ghana’s long-term development agenda. In a productive meeting with the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament (MP) for Akatsi South, Bernard Ahiafor, the investors expressed their eagerness to partner with Ghana across various sectors beyond retail and commerce. Their discussions with Mr Ahiafor, Dr Wuaku and other stakeholders emphasised job creation, infrastructure development, and skills transfer as key components of their investment agenda. The proposed shopping mall, expected to be the largest in Ghana, will introduce modern retail experiences, international brands, and world-class amenities. According to Dr Wuaku, the facility will be modelled after some of the most advanced shopping centres in Europe and the Middle East, featuring; retail outlets for local and international brands, entertainment centres, including cinemas, gaming arcades, and event spaces, restaurants and food courts offering diverse cuisine options, business hubs and coworking spaces to support young entrepreneurs and eco-friendly designs with energy-efficient systems and green spaces. Beyond the shopping mall, Turkish investors are also exploring opportunities in industrial development, agriculture, real estate, and renewable energy. These projects, when realised, will boost Ghana’s economy and position the country as a strategic investment hub in West Africa. Dr Wuaku emphasised the urgent need for more foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ghana to accelerate economic growth. He praised the Turkish investors for their commitment to supporting Ghana’s development and urged other international business communities to follow their example. “Ghana needs visionary investors like these Turkish business leaders. Their interest in our economy is a testament to the potential our country holds. With their expertise and resources, we can transform key sectors, create jobs, and boost economic prosperity,” Dr Wuaku stated during the meeting.

Saudi’S Boutique Group Plan To Triple Luxury Palace Hotel Portfolio
RLI
Saudi’S Boutique Group Plan To Triple Luxury Palace Hotel PortfolioSaudi Arabia’s Boutique Group is planning to potentially triple its palace hotel portfolio by 2030 and eyeing international expansion opportunities, as the luxury hospitality company seeks to establish itself as a global cultural heritage brand. The Public Investment Fund-owned company is evaluating several additional palaces for conversion into luxury hotels, with plans to expand beyond its current three announced projects, Chief Executive Officer Christoph Mares said. “A doubling, possibly tripling until 2030 of the first three is a very good possibility,” Mares said. The expansion plans are currently under review by the board of directors. The company, which currently has three palace projects in development including the flagship Red Palace in Riyadh, is also exploring opportunities to export its palace-to-hotel conversion expertise to other markets, particularly in Europe where historic properties face maintenance and viability challenges. Mares highlighted potential opportunities in European landmarks, suggesting that such properties might need to consider new operating models to remain sustainable and become profitable. “When you look at Europe, maybe you have a lot of palaces. They have more palaces than they know what to do with,” Mares said. “It’s not being maintained, it doesn’t make any money, insurances, etc. It doesn’t have the vibrancy that they potentially should have.” The CEO specifically pointed to Buckingham Palace’s current operational model, suggesting that maintaining large sections of such properties for limited public access might become unsustainable. “Prince Charles [is] looking very carefully what he should be doing with Buckingham Palace, where nobody is anymore, because the fortune to maintain it in the heart of the city.” However, Mares emphasised that international expansion would only be considered after establishing a strong track record in Saudi Arabia. “Let’s learn how to do it really well at home, and then we can talk about that next. But it is a consideration,” he said. The company is also exploring potential diversification into other luxury hospitality segments, including branded residences and luxury trains. “The first thing that would come to my mind as a natural extension would be possibly very sophisticated, very elegant and historic framework, maybe of service and branded residences,” Mares said. Boutique Group’s current portfolio includes the Red Palace, Al Hamra Palace in Jeddah, and Tuwaiq Palace in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter. The Red Palace project, which is more than 60 per cent complete, will feature approximately 70-100 keys and is scheduled to open in April 2026. The expansion plans are supported by what Mares described as “patient and generous shareholders,” referring to the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. “Their support and their drive and their passion and their patience, most importantly in these kind of projects, has been exemplary,” he said. The company expects to create approximately 1,000 jobs across its three announced projects, including corporate and individual property leadership teams. The expansion is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader Vision 2030 initiative to develop its tourism sector and diversify the economy away from oil. Mares, who joined Boutique Group in January 2025 after nearly 25 years at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, said the company’s focus on cultural heritage and luxury hospitality creates a unique proposition that could resonate globally. “These are brands that have been in existence over decades, over hundreds of years,” Mares said, acknowledging the challenge of establishing a new luxury brand. “We will be able to break into this sphere, I would think, with time and support and great relationship and marketing and execution.”

Prague’S Kotva Department Store Refurbishment
RLI
Prague’S Kotva Department Store RefurbishmentThe reconstruction of the Kotva department in Prague is starting today, one year after its closure. This is happening on the 50th anniversary of its opening. The owner is Generali Real Estate. The modernisation of the building, designed by architects Vladimír and Věra Machonin, is expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2027. According to Generali Real Estate, the reconstruction should modernise the interiors and expand the use of the building, which, according to the proposal, is to have six floors of shops and services and two floors of offices.  The renovation plans include replacing the façade cladding to preserve the original shapes of the building, including the iconic brutalist concrete communication towers and hexagonal structures.  Kotva was built as an example of a luxurious Czechoslovak department store. At the time of its opening, it was the fifth-largest department store in Europe. It opened its doors to its first customers on February 10, 1975. Recently, Kotva has faced competition from more modern shopping centres. Its operation has been complicated in the past by disputes over shares, which became the subject of police investigations and court cases. In March 2005, Kotva was purchased by the Irish company Markland, which began renovations, but the plans were disrupted by the economic crisis. In 2016, it became the property of PSN, from whom it was purchased by Generali Real Estate in 2020.
