50 years: Maritim celebrates its anniversary

Special offers during anniversary year

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 - the Maritim Seehotel Timmendorfer Strand - opened in 1969.

“That will never pay off,” heard company founder Hans-Joachim Gommolla all too often when he spoke of his plans to build a large hotel with halls and conference facilities. But this did little to put Gommolla off his idea and he was soon successful: Six new Maritim hotels opened in Germany in the 1970s, with the first Maritim Hotel abroad opening in Tenerife in 1980. Today, Maritim Hotels is the largest owner-managed German hotel chain, with a presence in seven countries across the world: Mauritius, Egypt, Turkey, Malta, Spain, Bulgaria and China.

In its anniversary year, Maritim Hotels would like to thank its patrons for 50 years of trust and loyalty by offering them a number of anniversary specials.

Jubilee cocktail

Which recipe wins the race? All the bar teams at Maritim Hotels were invited to participate in an internal competition. The idea was to find a Jubilee cocktail with an iconic feel. The competition was won by the Stuttgart team. The Jubilee cocktail will be available at all Maritim bars throughout the year, but perhaps only this year.

Dishes old and new

Tastes change over time. To celebrate its anniversary, Maritim asked its head chefs what guests liked to dine on in times gone by which is still a popular choice today. The results can be found on the menus of all the German branches of the hotel company during the anniversary year.
