On 2 March 2017, the topping-out ceremony was held for the new Hyatt Place Hotel in the Gateway Gardens development area next to Frankfurt International Airport. 120 invited guests marvelled at the good progress of the project and the mock-up room, and were impressed both by the concept and the prominent and convenient location of the 312 room hotel. While the topping-out ceremony was slightly overshadowed by stormy weather, the project itself is running smoothly and is both on time and within budget.
