Hotel INNSIDE Leipzig
Leipziger Ring - Dittrichring 11 | Gottschedstraße 1
Next to the world-famous Thomaskirche, where Johann-Sebastian Bach
worked for almost 30 years, a new urban city quarter will be created,
initiated by the project developer KSW.
The INNSIDE by MELIA is a 4 star hotel with 177 rooms, bar, meeting and
congress area, spa and 2 independent restaurants.
In the neighborhood of the market square with the old town hall,
Thomaskirche and the river Pleiße this modern hotel is being built.
The Lord Mayor of Leipzig, B. Jung, said in the autumn of 2014, "A lot of
history we can find at this place". Only the façades of 1871 and the front
supplement to the Dittrichring of 1926 remain from the Palais Cosmos-
Messehaus. The façade is being rebuilt at the second palace, designed by
the Leipzig star architect Arwed Roßbach in the neo-Renaissance style of
1871. Behind the façades, a classic, modern hotel structure with a big
patio is created, which bring the light into the rooms. Both palais are
individuality and have an integrative connection in a new ensemble.
The individuality of the palaisand the integrative connection in the new
ensemble are visible. The caesura between the buildings as well the new
glass roof landscape with restaurants and bars promise fascinating views
of the Thomaskirche and the city.
With the new complete set, also with a new silhouette, a balance to the
grid of Commerzbank is created and the harmony of the architectural
visions next to the Thomaskirche. The creative advancement or the new
creation by DENDA-ARCHITECTS was carried out in close consultation
with the authorities in the sense of a critical reconstruction.
The Melia-Ensemble will comprise 8 floors with an underground, ground
floor and 6 upper floors. There are 31 parking spaces in the underground
car park. The main entrance with the hotel entrance is via
Gottschedstraße. The historic facades and the planned modern minimalist
design in the interiors, hotel rooms, lobby, restaurants, bars, atrium create
a combination of history and modernity, which gives the luxurious hotel
and the restaurants a special charm.
The start for this project was in September 2014, and the hotel was
completed on 1 September 2016. The peculiarities and difficulties were the
integration of the remaining facades and building parts, the realization on
the river bank of the Pleiße as well as in the cramped conditions of the site,
limited by main roads, existing buildings and the river.
