The story behind the renovation
We started from the top and worked our way down — always one half of a floor at a time, to keep things running smoothly. Guests even enjoyed breakfast in our beautiful (and freshly renovated) ballroom while the restaurant was being transformed.
Every detail was carefully considered: we spent weeks testing flooring options and colour palettes until we found a combination that feels modern yet perfectly in tune with our Penta style.
The result? Meeting rooms with a calmer, clearer atmosphere for productive sessions, smart new buffet setups in both the restaurant and meeting areas, and design highlights that blend local flair with contemporary comfort — from premium 50-inch TVs to artwork featuring iconic Leipzig landmarks.
More than just a new look
This renovation goes beyond appearances. It’s about improving every part of the guest journey — visually, functionally, and emotionally.
- Inspired by our guests: The updates are based directly on your feedback.
- Smarter design: Refreshed meeting rooms and open-space concepts make everything flow more naturally.
- Sustainability first: Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems earned us the Green Key certification
- Future-ready tech: Our new digital key system adds both convenience and security.
- Better for our teams: Smarter layouts and improved equipment mean faster, smoother service.
As Regional General Manager Christian Keßler puts it:
“The modernisation demonstrates how we combine style, comfort, and sustainability. From Leipzig-inspired design highlights to a state-of-the-art digital door locking system – we are shaping change consistently around the needs of our guests.”
