Smartcity Designhotel

Located on one of the most important squares in the city, between the opera and central train station, right in the heart of Hanover, you'll find SMARTCITY DESIGNHOTEL. This stylish hotel is part of the celebrated CITYHOTEL AM THIELENPLATZ, featuring more than 30 comfortable rooms and suites designed by the internationally renowned star architect and designer Matteo Thun.

This hotel represents the consummation of a concept developed by the renowned architect Prof Dr Dieter Oesterlen in the early Fifties. The building opened its doors in August 2012 - as the first designer hotel in Hanover.

This 7-storey tower building with a new timeless façade houses 12 comfort rooms, 12 deluxe rooms and 6 suites of up to 45 m² in the 4-star segment. The interior design of the rooms constitutes a dialogue with the façade, interpreting the spirit of the 50s in a modern, yet classic fashion.

The layout of the rooms is characterised by open space. Baths have glass walls, making them part of the bedroom, connected via a sideboard - which simultaneously serves as a washbasin. The colour palette consists of neutral achromatic, yet warm grey-white shades with splashes of colourful elements and hand-painted tiles and washbasins. Every room has 2.6-metre three-pane windows reaching all the way to the floor. All baths are equipped with floor heating.

Furnishings consist of hand-made furniture and design classics reflecting the hotel's origins: Vitra Eames organic chairs & plastic side chairs, Gubi Bestlite & Artemide lamps, natural oak parquet, LED TV as a multimedia device with HDMI and Apple interfaces, dimmable indirect lighting and much more.

Traditional climate control systems have not been implemented. Instead, we use an intelligent ventilation and de-airing system with filtered air to provide a pleasant indoor climate.

The suites have a separate bedroom and den area, providing a venue for meetings in an exclusive atmosphere with up to 6 business partners.

Gastronomically, our services are rounded off by the hotel bar and the restaurant L'OSTERIA, located in the spaces of a former cinema.
