Hyatt Hotels Corporation has unveiled its latest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the Brunfels Hotel, nestled in the heart of Mainz’s captivating Old Town. This marks the company’s ongoing expansion across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, adding to its existing presence in the city with two other properties. The Brunfels Hotel is strategically located on Schillerplatz, mere steps from iconic landmarks like the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, the ancient Gutenberg Museum, and the lively Marktplatz square. This prime location provides guests with an ideal starting point to explore Mainz’s rich tapestry of music, art, and design, where ancient traditions intertwine with contemporary lifestyle. The Rhine River and numerous wine houses in the vicinity ensure that the Brunfels Hotel serves as an exceptional base for experiencing the best of Mainz’s past, present, and future.
“Brunfels Hotel is a fantastic addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, merging Mainz’s magnificent heritage with a touch of modern glamour,” said Holger Hanselmann, General Manager of Brunfels Hotel. “The property boasts views of the cathedral yet remains discreetly tucked away from the main streets of the Old Town, making it the perfect haven for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the local atmosphere from a revitalizing retreat.” Katie Johnson, Vice President, Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Independent Collection brands added, “Expanding The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand with a second opening in Germany highlights our dedication to delivering memorable experiences within our distinct Independent Collection portfolio. This opening is a significant step in that journey, and we are thrilled for Brunfels Hotel to welcome travelers this fall and beyond.”
The hotel’s design is a captivating fusion of a modern 21st-century aesthetic and retro chic elements, mirroring Mainz’s unique blend of tradition and modernity.

The five-story hotel houses 127 rooms, each meticulously appointed with botanical bathroom amenities, complimentary mini-bars, tea and coffee facilities, heated floors, and flat-screen TVs, providing a luxurious sanctuary for all types of travelers. The hotel’s communal areas are vibrant spaces with a biophilic design, including a hidden courtyard with its own bar, and a private dining room seamlessly blending modern sophistication with natural elements.
The central bar, a focal point of the hotel, serves up botanical-inspired cocktails and a curated menu of delectable dishes, created in partnership with local producers like craft brewer Kuehn Kunz Rosen, gin distillery Edelranz, and coffee roastery Müller. The on-site restaurant presents a modern take on German cuisine, placing emphasis on seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. Its wine selection highlights top German winemakers alongside lesser-known labels, showcasing the region’s rich viticulture. Brunfels Hotel proudly embraces its German roots while maintaining a global outlook, offering personalized service and local recommendations from its multilingual staff.
