I need to be in Hamburg between March 27-29 and IHG shows no HIE availability, there are at least 3 HIE in Hamburg and it's weird that none is available!

Anyone knows why?

It would be fair to say, there were three HIE in Hamburg. You might wish to check availability with Premier Inn now. This deal has been announced back in 2018. Foremost Hospitality sold its hotels to Whitbread. This relates to 19 HIX hotels, including the three in Hamburg

Thanks! Last time I was staying in a HIE was in 2019 November (Hamburg city centre), I didn't notice any changes.

The changes were quite recently. It's only the deal itself that is quite old:

I guess they must be doing some renovation to change from HIX to Premier Inn - that explains the 0 availability and no premier inn when I searched.

If you want to have IHG in Hamburg, the new HI close to the Elbphilharmonie is really nice.

Yeah I stayed there during PB, it was really nice especially compared to the one by the Elb bridge. We just need somewhere to sleep and relax and we don't need to be somewhere central as we are driving anyway.
