The Hotel Bristol in Bonn opened in 1972. It is in close proximity to the center of Bonn on the edge of the southern part of the city on the corner of Prinz-Albert-Strasse and Poppelsdorfer Allee .
history
The hotel was built in place of the demolished company building of the Bonn Citizens' Association as an investment property of the insurance group Deutscher Herold , whose corporate headquarters was immediately adjacent at the time, according to plans by the Bonn architect Ernst van Dorp . The opening took place in March 1972. It was operated from the start by the Düsseldorf family company Günnewig . During the time of Bonn as the federal capital, guests from the Foreign Office were often accommodated there. In June 1984 the South African Prime Minister Pieter Willem Botha stayed here during his state visit to Bonn. On September 8, 1987, the GDR State Council Chairman Erich Honecker gave a dinner in honor of Chancellor Helmut Kohl as part of his working visit to the Federal Republic at the end of his stay in Bonn in the Hotel Bristol, and gave a speech replied by Kohl. The hotel was extensively renovated in 1991 and another in 2008. At the beginning of 2017, the hotel moved from Günnewig to the Centro Hotel Group.
Architecture and equipment
The hotel is a seven-storey steel frame building with exposed concrete , which is attached to a single-storey entrance building with connected functional areas. Originally comprising 70 single and 65 double rooms, the number of rooms is now 116. The entrance with a prestigious right of way is on Prinz-Albert-Straße; a café and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace are located in front of Poppelsdorfer Allee. There are eight meeting and event rooms, the two largest ballrooms can be combined to a maximum capacity of 350 people.
"[E] in a new hotel building that goes completely beyond the urban framework, although it is indirectly indebted to Wilhelmine architecture due to the discrepancy between its skeleton construction and the monumental demands of the facade cladding."
