Switzerland-based Acron has agreed to finance a hotel in Atlanta, which will be part of the experience center of Germany's sports car manufacturer Porsche.
Solís Hotel Two Porsche Drive will be the in-house hotel for Porsche's U.S. headquarters and event base opened in May, 2015. Porsche Cars North America has 400 employees and the test and race track provides an estimated 30,000 guests per year the opportunity to experience the joys of the legendary German sports car.
The ever rising demand for using the track has already prompted the company to envisage an expansion of the track. A technical training center, a classic car restoration facility, exhibition space, a business center and restaurants complement the Porsche campus in Atlanta, Georgia.
International Airport Hotel
The hotel is forecast to open in August 2017 and feature 214 rooms, a swimming pool, fitness center, shops and restaurants. Capella Hotel Group will operate the 5-star hotel under the Solís brand. It will not only serve the Porsche campus, but also be the first new hotel on the east side of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport since the new international terminal opened.
The total investment volume amounts to $52 million. Acron placed the share capital with private investors with an average subscription of $4 million.
Acron was the company which managed the Radisson Blu Zurich Airport Hotel project. The hotel with direct access to the terminals in Zurich opened in 2008. The company has its headquarters in Zurich with subsidiaries in Luxembourg, Dusseldorf, Dallas and Rio.
