With over 18 million overnight stays in 2019, Munich is the second most visited city in Germany. It has the highest percentage of international travellers in the country at almost 50% and attracts both leisure and business travellers.

Read COSI's elevator pitch: "We are building a new type of hotel chain, completely digitalized. We develop the software for this ourselves - from the virtual reception to the housekeeping app.

This means we save 60 percent of running costs and can also profitably operate small sites that would not be lucrative for other hotel chains."

By applying a successful strategy from the mobile software playbook, COSI has already launched 5 beautiful city locations in just a few months. They are live, realizing results such as 80% occupancy in the first month.

We are proud to announce the missing link within our founding team, we welcome Inga Svinhufvud Laudiero as Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer. Inga joined us to shape our brand and create an authentic space together with our high caliber interior design team. I have known Inga for over 10 years, and am confident her creative flare and institutional expertise will no doubt generate success.

COSI meets the modern Zeitgeist of travelers in today's stressful world, that traditional hotels rarely serve: Guests prefer the cozy feeling of a home over a standard hotel room; appreciate the unique design of a boutique hotel in a location with character; and value seamless technology concepts that provide guidance, save waiting times and cut friction out of the old school guest stay experience.
