💡 Behind the scenes of ConferenceArena 2026 💡
Did you know that Dorint was not originally intended to become a traditional hotel chain?
It all began in 1959 in Mönchengladbach, when successful furniture entrepreneur Werner Dornieden opened a so-called “model hotel” in the Bunten Garten. The idea was to showcase modern hotel interior design. On 25 September 1959, the first guests checked in – unaware that they were witnessing the beginning of one of Germany’s most influential hospitality success stories.
From the very start, Dorint focused uncompromisingly on quality, contemporary design and innovative technology – clearly setting itself apart from the standards of the time. This commitment continues to define the brand today.
Even the name reflects its origins: DOR stands for Dornieden, INT for International. What began as a visionary concept evolved into the Dorint brand – and from a model hotel grew an international hotel group.
