SMARTCITY DESIGNHOTEL - ARCHITECTURE


The building originated in the years 1951-53 based on the drafts created by the renowned Hanoverian architect Prof. Dr. Dieter Oesterlen (cofounder of the Braunschweiger School), which for the time, was typical city hotel with apartment buildings and shops. The main building attraction was an arranged film studio in the basement. Important Hanoverian architecture by Prof. Dr. Dieter Oesterlen:

  • Café Kröpcke
  • The restoration of the Markt Church after its destruction during the war 
  • Parliament of Lower Saxony 
  • NDR-Funkhaus 
The building consists of two pieces: in the 7 story tall dream building, with a new timeless facade, there are 12 comfort rooms, 13 deluxe rooms and 5 suites up to a size of 40 square meters in the 4-star segment, planned and designed by the internationally known star architect and designer Matteo Thun.


Matteo Thun is in the New York „Hall of Fame” and has created (among others) the following designs: cutlery for WMF, Alessi and Villeroy & Boch, various extraordinary design hotels, the espresso cup from Illy, Lavazza and Meinl, lamps for Artemide, Flos and Zumtobel, furniture for Kartell & Wittmann, china for Rosenthal, sunglasses for Silhouette, watches for Bulgari and Swatch and much more.

The interior of the rooms is in dialogue with the facade and interprets the spirit of the '50s to modern, yet classic style.

Thus the design of the architecture Prof. Dr. Dieter Oesterlen was completed and the object opened its doors on the 1. August 2012, as the first designer hotel in Hannover.

Gastronomy is offered in the hotel bar mini bar and – in the former film studio – the restaurant L´OSTERIA.
