Austrian company JP Hospitality has announced plans to launch a new airport hotel brand named Pan Am Hotel, aiming to evoke the atmosphere of the golden age of travel associated with Pan American Airways. The announcement was made at the Expo Real real estate trade fair in Munich.
According to JP Hospitality, the first group of Pan Am Hotels is expected to open in 2028 at airports across Europe. The company stated it already has a pipeline of suitable airport assets and is also negotiating potential properties outside Europe.
JP Hospitality described its vision for the hotels as providing "airport hospitality that excites guests" with round-the-clock service and a midcentury modern design reminiscent of classic Pan Am style. Gebhard Schachermayer, CEO of PNMB Brand GmbH and managing partner of JP Hospitality, said, "With the launch of Pan Am Hotel, we are setting a new benchmark in airport hospitality. Airports deserve better hotels — without inflated prices, but with comfort, quality, and innovation!"
