The hotel restaurant is very good, hope that stays.

Hotels, which are closing down or are rebranded at the moment, are most likely part of this change of strategy.

There are operations going-on to introduce new hotels with up-to-date standards but that mostly will take time. Neither Hannover or Cologne are in Germany in any IHG pipe-line to open up new hotels in nearer future.

I think it says all one needs to know about Doubletree that this hotel has to close because it can't meet CP standards but can immediately rebrand as a DT without any changes.
