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.
