Successfully operating top-class hotels for half a century: Maritim Hotels (Germany) has reason to celebrate its ​anniversary year 2019. It all began with a visionary concept that soon became the trademark of the hotel group: “Daytime business and overnight accommodation under one roof”. This was the premise on which the company's first hotel opened in 1969.

Throughout 2019, Maritim Hotels will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a whole host of initiatives and offers. We are particularly excited about the Maritim “Celebration Cup”. Every time one of these reusable anniversary cups is sold or refilled, Maritim will donate 50 cents directly to the charity SOS Children’s Villages.
