history
The construction, which began in 1996 at the Landsberger Allee / Storkower Strasse intersection , was designed by the architect Aldo Rossi , who died in 1997 , and with its elegant architecture and the 12-storey tower as an eye-catcher should set a dominant feature of urban development. A hotel with 160 beds, a large shopping center, offices and practices as well as a hotel academy were planned. The ensemble should represent the “entrance gate to Lichtenberg”.
In 1997 the construction pit ran under water. Work stopped three years after the foundation stone was laid. Tenants had terminated contracts because several other shopping centers had been built in the area , and the costs had increased enormously. The Landsberger Arkaden, finished in the shell, changed hands several times in the following period, the last time the property was forcibly auctioned off in November 2006. The usage concepts proposed by the unsuccessful investors repeatedly envisaged a large hotel at this location.
On March 1, 2009, to became Vienna International Hotel Management belonging stay at the Hotel Berlin opened with 557 rooms. The cost of the renovation is estimated at around 50 million euros.
