Opposite Strasbourg railway station, Kaufman & Broad and Crédit Mutuel Immobilier are jointly overseeing the development of a new generation MEININGER hotel. Strategically located to attract an international clientele, this project combines an innovative hospitality offering with high environmental performance standards, reflecting the Group's expertise and forward looking vision.
A New Hotel in a Prime Location
Located on Place de la Gare, with excellent access to public transport, the MEININGER hotel is scheduled for completion in 2027. Its exceptional location makes it an ideal destination for business travellers, families, school groups and sports teams.
With a capacity of 349 guests, the hotel will enhance Strasbourg’s tourism offering while contributing to the regeneration of a rapidly evolving neighbourhood.
A Hybrid and Welcoming Hospitality Concept
The MEININGER hotel represents a new approach to accommodation, combining the modern comforts of an affordable hotel with the welcoming, sociable atmosphere of a youth hostel.
The hotel will feature:
- 114 rooms, including double rooms, family rooms, multi-bed rooms and dormitories;
- Spacious communal areas, including a shared kitchen, games room and social spaces;
- A publicly accessible ground floor, accommodating the reception area, dining facilities and Europcar premises.
A Sustainable Design Incorporating Energy Efficiency, Responsible Materials and Biodiversity
Designed to address today’s climate and energy challenges, the hotel is targeting BREEAM “Very Good” certification and incorporates several innovative environmental solutions:
- Energy performance exceeding French RT 2012 requirements by 20%, complemented by rooftop photovoltaic panels;
- Reduced soil sealing and the creation of a 130 sq m landscaped garden with trees;
- The use of low-carbon materials and optimised waste management.
With a total floor area of approximately 4,000 sq m, the development makes efficient use of existing urban land without contributing to further land take.
Thoughtful Architectural Integration
Designed by RHB Architectes, the project blends harmoniously into its urban surroundings through a carefully considered architectural approach.
The mineral concrete façades echo the character of the surrounding buildings, while the natural zinc-clad top floor features dormer windows inspired by traditional local rooftops.
A landscaped internal courtyard further enhances the development, creating an attractive green setting and a welcoming communal space.
A Project Driven by Committed Partners
The MEININGER hotel is the result of a strong collaborative partnership between Kaufman & Broad, Crédit Mutuel Immobilier, Crédit Agricole Alsace Vosges, Banque des Territoires and international hotel operator MEININGER.
This partnership demonstrates the Group’s ability to work alongside leading stakeholders to deliver ambitious developments that enhance the attractiveness of local communities while addressing the challenges of sustainable development.
