Staycity Group has entered the Munich market for the first time, signing a long-term lease for approximately 11,000 square metres at the Weisses Quartier development.
The project will bring 255 fully equipped rooms under the Staycity Aparthotels banner and represents one of the largest leasing transactions in Munich in recent months.
Andrew Fowler, Chief Development Officer at Staycity Group, described Munich as “one of the most important hotel markets in Germany” and a central pillar of the group’s expansion strategy.
The Munich property will debut an enhanced, upscale positioning for Staycity Aparthotels in Germany, with increased emphasis on design, guest experience and communal spaces.
The Weisses Quartier’s architectural language, inspired by the work of Richard Meier, features clean lines and distinctive white façades, aligning with the group’s updated brand identity.
Each unit will include a fully equipped kitchen, reflecting growing demand for flexible, extended-stay accommodation that blends residential functionality with hotel service standards.
Munich’s appeal as an international business hub and major trade fair destination makes it a strategically important addition to Staycity’s DACH footprint.
The property is located in the city’s southeast, close to the ‘new balan’ campus and Werksviertel district, with direct public transport links to the city centre and Ostbahnhof, as well as onward connections to Munich Airport.
Fowler said demand for aparthotel and extended-stay products continues to grow as travel patterns evolve, with guests seeking more space and flexibility for longer stays while maintaining reliable service standards.
The Weisses Quartier forms part of one of Germany’s largest building revitalisation projects, spanning 61,000 square metres. Between 2019 and 2024, developer and owner ESR Europe undertook extensive energy-efficient refurbishment, including the addition of a new top floor and 12 terraces.
Sustainability was cited as a decisive factor in Staycity’s leasing decision. The group has set Science-Based Targets to reduce carbon emissions by 59% by 2034 against a 2023 baseline, with an interim 50% reduction by 2030.
Staycity’s ESG strategy focuses on green electricity procurement, transitioning fossil fuel-based assets to electric systems, reducing water and energy consumption and aligning with lower-emission suppliers.
The Munich signing expands Staycity’s growing footprint across German-speaking markets. The group’s Staycity Aparthotels and Wilde brands currently operate in Berlin, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Dresden, Leipzig and Vienna.
With Munich now secured, Staycity reinforces its strategy of targeting strong, year-round business destinations across the DACH region — combining design-led aparthotels with sustainability-driven growth.
