Dublin and London | 30 June 2025: Dalata Hotel Group plc (‘Dalata’ or the ‘Group’), the UK and Ireland’s largest independent four-star hotel operator with a growing presence in Continental Europe, announces an agreement with Deka Immobilien (‘Deka’) to lease a 4-star Clayton Hotel Tiergarten in Berlin.

The hotel, which previously operated as Novotel Berlin Am Tiergarten hotel, is currently undergoing an 18-month refurbishment investment. Upon completion, the full-service Clayton Hotel will include 274 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, meeting and events centre, sauna, steam room and gym. Dalata expects to commence operations, through a 25-year lease, in the second half of 2026.

The building will have a BREEAM Very Good certification. It benefits from a local district heating network, with hot water generation achieved without the use of fossil fuels. Modern air handling units and air conditioning systems utilising low energy technology will also be installed.

The hotel is centrally located on Straße des 17. Juni, between the Kurfürstendamm and the Brandenburg Gate with transport links to the main train station, the airports and exhibition centre. It is part of the mixed-use Tiergarten Tower development, comprising both office and hotel use. The Tiergarten area is an exceptional location in the city with leisure attractions such as the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Federal Chancellery, Kurfürstendamm and the Berlin Zoological Garden within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport.  Berlin, Germany’s capital and most populous city, received almost 13 million visitors in 2024 recording more than 30 million overnight stays.

Shane Casserly, Deputy CEO of Dalata Hotel Group commented:

"We are very excited to announce our first hotel in Berlin, a leading global travel destination and a key strategic location in our European expansion strategy. Situated close to numerous leisure and business hubs, the fully refurbished hotel will be ideally positioned to benefit from Berlin’s rich mix of cultural, historical, sporting, and business events and attractions. We value deeply our partnerships, and we look forward to expanding our footprint in Germany and continuing our strong relationship with Deka”.
