Motel One Hotels

Motel One is a prominent German hotel brand founded in 2000 by Dieter Müller in Munich. The brand revolutionized the hospitality industry by introducing the 'budget design' concept, which combines high-quality architecture and stylish interiors with affordable pricing, typically centered around its signature turquoise color scheme and 'One Lounge' social spaces.

While the company originated in Bavaria, its operations have expanded significantly across Europe and into the United States under the 'The Cloud One' sub-brand. As a service-based product, its 'manufacturing' or service delivery occurs at each individual hotel location across countries including Germany, Austria, the UK, France, and Spain. The brand remains privately held and is headquartered in Munich, maintaining a consistent focus on urban locations and high-occupancy business models.
