In early November 2026, hotel management company Signo Hospitality GmbH celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the new-build Fairfield by Marriott project in Rheine. The new hotel building forms the central element of the redesigned Staelscher Hof in the heart of the town on the River Ems, which has around 77,500 inhabitants. The scheme marks a further step in the operator's expansion strategy and adds an urban design accent to the centre of the Münsterland medium-sized town.
The location is distinguished by its immediate proximity to the town hall and views of the town-defining St Dionysius Church. The accommodation offer is an organic component of a large-scale neighbourhood redevelopment that creates space for gastronomy, retail uses and public green spaces alongside accommodation areas. The objective of the overall project is to achieve a sustained enhancement of the quality of working, living and spending time in the town centre.
Capacities and construction schedule
The future hotel targets business and leisure travellers alike. The new-build floor space will comprise 120 guest rooms, complemented by a lobby bar and two separate meeting rooms for business events. Structural completion and the official start of operations under the management of Signo Hospitality are scheduled for summer 2027.

Partnership implementation and brand profile
Chris Hofschröer from the construction firm Bauunternehmung Hofschröer GmbH & Co KG is responsible as the client for the project development. The regional construction company is already collaborating with Signo Hospitality on other construction projects. On the occasion of the topping-out ceremony, Sascha Konter, Managing Director of Signo Hospitality, emphasised that the commitment extends beyond merely offering overnight accommodation. Through collaboration with the regional partner, a contribution is being made to a vibrant townscape that opens up future-viable prospects for the urban area.
With the operation of the property, the company is introducing a franchise brand of Marriott International. The Fairfield by Marriott concept covers the segment from economy to upper-midscale. With more than 9,200 hotels, around 1.68 million rooms and a presence in over 140 countries, Marriott International is regarded as a globally leading hotel group, and it is strengthening its network in the regional SME market with the Rheine location.
