The RC Wolfsburg is probably one of the most profitable hotels in Europe and would be a great addition, especially considering that the Elephant and Fuerstenhof are not really hotels that should bear the name "Luxury Collection".
More presence in Berlin would be great, but the yield is disastrous, maybe a relatively small W could survive.
