CHICAGO – Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening of Brunfels Hotel at the center of Mainz’s enchanting Old Town. The opening marks the latest development in Hyatt’s continued portfolio growth in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is the newest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.
The third Hyatt property in the city, Brunfels Hotel will be an ideal haven for curious travelers with a love of culture and history. Its opening signals Hyatt’s ongoing commitment to adding hotels in sought-after destinations throughout Europe.
The hotel is a stone’s throw away from world-renowned attractions including the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, the ancient Gutenberg Museum and the vibrant Marktplatz square. Situated on Schillerplatz, the hotel is enviably located for those looking to wander through the winding streets of a city where music, art and design converge, and ancient tradition meets contemporary lifestyle. With the Rhine in walking distance and numerous wine houses nearby, Brunfels Hotel is the perfect destination from which to explore this captivating city, and experience the best of its past, present, and future.
“Brunfels Hotel is a terrific addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, combining the magnificent heritage of Mainz with a twist of modern glamour,” said Holger Hanselmann, General Manager of Brunfels Hotel. “The property has views of the cathedral yet remains tucked away from the main streets of the Old Town, making it the ideal stay for travelers looking to soak up the local atmosphere from a revitalizing retreat.”
Katie Johnson, Vice President, Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Independent Collection brands said, “Expanding The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand with a second opening in Germany highlights our commitment to delivering storyworthy experiences within our distinct Independent Collection portfolio. This opening is an important step on that journey, and we are excited for Brunfels Hotel to welcome travelers this fall and beyond.”

The hotel’s design recognizes that Mainz is steeped in tradition yet full of modern energy, with a 21st century look combined with retro chic elements. In a nod to its namesake, the renowned botanist Otto Brunfels, the property focuses on modern artwork inspired by the natural world, with botany-infused touches subtly woven throughout the lighting, decor, furnishing and operations. The color palette combines earthy greens, beige and brown to align with the natural style of the hotel, focusing on comfort and familiarity.
New technology has also been incorporated into the hotel experience through climate control features which use air heat pumps and digital check in for seamless entry.
The 5-story hotel has 127 rooms, with a range of accommodations for families, couples, and individual travelers alike. Botanical bathroom amenities and a complimentary mini-bar, alongside tea and coffee amenities, heated floors, and flat screen TVs make this the perfect place to unwind after a busy day in the city or exploring the broader delights of Germany’s wine capital.
