Dutch group, citizenM hotels, has signed a ground lease commitment with Aéroports de Paris, for the development of a hotel at Paris-Charles de Gaulle’s airport city.

The ‘Affordable Luxury’ citizenM hotel will be built in the Roissypole district near the airport and will be directly connected to CDG’s terminals through the free CDGVal airport shuttle, as well as to the RER station, with trains to central Paris.

The 230-room hotel is expected to open in early 2014.

François Cangardel, real estate manager at Aéroports de Paris, said: “The opening of a new hotel at Paris-Charles de Gaulle is in line with Aéroports de Paris strategy which intends to develop the hotel accommodation offer in the immediate vicinity of our airports.

“We also aim at strengthening the existing offer with new hotel concepts. The partnership with citizenM, which offers a unique and innovative concept, meets our expectations and should be attractive to many of our customers.”

CitizenM currently operates three hotels; one at Schiphol Airport, one in Amsterdam city centre and one in the city centre of Glasgow.

The expansion strategy of citizenM is to develop and invest in citizenM hotels on prime city centre locations and terminal-connected airport sites in metropolitan cities only, such as Paris, London, New York, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.
