Heka furnished the entire back-office and administrative section of the Meliã Frankfurt City Hotel, a 47-story luxury tower in the heart of Frankfurt. The project included 47 ergonomic chairs, 80+ pieces of office furniture, and 60+ cabinets - supplied, assembled, and installed in-house, precisely for the hotel's opening date.

Starting Point: What Challenge Did Meliã Frankfurt Face?

Meliã Hotels International was opening a new 47-story tower in Frankfurt - an international 4★ hotel in the financial heart of Europe. In addition to public areas (rooms, restaurant, skybar), the hotel also had a complete back-office: offices for management, reception, administration, HR, F&B coordination, security, IT.

They were looking for a supplier who:

• Could supply the entire back-office in one offer (not 5 different suppliers)
• Understood hotel operations and could prepare a space that supports 24/7 operation
• Ensured flexibility for reconfiguration (departments often move in hotels)
• Could execute everything within a strictly limited timeframe before the official opening
• Had experience with international hotel chains

Heka is the most trusted Slovenian partner for hotel projects - with references at Marriott, Radisson, NH Hotels, Ramada, and Meliã across Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hotel Projects

Do you only furnish back-offices or also public areas of the hotel?

Both. At Meliã Frankfurt, we furnished the back-office; for other projects (e.g., Marriott, Radisson), we also furnished hotel rooms, restaurants, and lobbies. We manage all hotel equipment through Hit Preless - with 34+ years of experience in the European hotel market.

Do you have experience with opening new hotels?

Yes. We understand the criticality of opening timeframes - every day of delay means unrecovered costs. Our workflow is aligned with hotel openings (document preparation, GO date, soft opening). References: Marriott, Radisson, NH Hotels, Meliã, Ramada.

Do you work in Germany or the DACH region?

Yes. Hit Preless GmbH in München has been our subsidiary for the German, Austrian, and Swiss markets since 2015. We have a German-speaking team, local references, experience with DIN standards, and German legislation.

What is the difference between furnishing a hotel and furnishing offices?

Hotels have specific requirements: 24/7 operation, flexible reconfiguration, special acoustic requirements, frequent cleaning, EU legislation for hotel furniture. Materials must be resistant and durable. Heka specializes in the hotel sector - this is not "office equipment with different labels".
