We built citizenM. We built its model. And we still run it.
Since managing citizenM’s first hotel in 2008, we developed the concept, the operating system and the design principles that shaped citizenM into the global brand it is today.
We didn’t just manage the growth, we defined the playbook. The approach hasn’t changed: smart design, efficient operations and a consistently high-quality experience across every property we steward.
