On 1 February 2017 Hamburg-based Centro Hotel Group took over the four-star hotel IAT Plaza in Trier, which in future will operate under the name of FourSide Plaza Hotel Trier. The target is to establish the hotel and the FourSide brand in the Moselle city as a prestigious business and conference location. The existing restaurant and wide range of features such as the bar, the outdoor terrace and the implementation of events and conferences will be continued as before. Three variable conference rooms accommodating up to 400 persons are available for meetings and conferences.
The hotel has 102 design rooms in a range of categories, as well as several suites offering premier amenities. There are spacious gardens and extensive free parking in the grounds of the hotel. The centrally located hotel is around 200 m on foot from the Arena Trier event location and 2 km from the city's main railway station.
Since it was opened in 2014 the IAT Plaza Hotel has made a name for itself countrywide. In 2016 it was rated one of the top hotels in the city of Trier. Thanks to comprehensive refurbishment of the entire building in 2014 and the integration of all fire protection measures the hotel is in a first class condition. All the hotel's staff are looking forward to the new challenge of working for a German hotel company which is as successful as it is dynamic.
At present Hamburg's Centro Hotel Group operates 48 hotels throughout Germany and Austria, offering a total of 4200 rooms. In 2015 the first FourSide Hotel was opened in the Lower Saxony city of Braunschweig. In the spring of 2016 this was followed by two acquisitions in the Austrian capital Vienna. The group's expansion is to be continued with the Centro, FourSide and Boutique brands, together with the new budget brand NinetyNine Hotels from 2017.
