Deutsche Hospitality is launching a new project in its Upper Midscale Segment. The four-star IntercityHotel Karlsruhe will take shape right next to the city's main railway station and will form part of a new and high-end complex to be known as KA DREI. The collection of buildings on the site will also include two office blocks with retail space, an underground car park and a café. The hotel itself is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2023 and will offer 194 rooms, a restaurant and a bar, all designed by the Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun. It will also house an events facility extending over an area of 233 square metres and four conference rooms. Qcoon Real Estate GmbH and FORTOON Development GmbH, both of which are Hamburg-based companies, will share responsibility for project development and construction management of the building complex KA DREI.

Both the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre and Congress Centre will be easily accessible on foot from the hotel. Guests wishing to visit the city's old quarter will find it most convenient to take public transport, which they will be able to use free of charge throughout their stay thanks to IntercityHotel's FreeCityTicket scheme.
