History
Kastens Hotel Luisenhof is a grand independent hotel in the center (Mitte) of Hanover, Germany, with a lineage reaching back to April 1856, when Heinrich Kasten founded the original Kastens hotel. The neighboring Luisenhof building was constructed between 1914 and 1916, and the two establishments would eventually merge under a single name.
Both buildings were destroyed in 1945 during the Second World War. The hotel was rebuilt and reopened in 1947, and a dedicated Messehotel (trade-fair hotel) wing was added in 1952, uniting the properties as Kastens Hotel Luisenhof. The house celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2006 and today operates independently with around 149 rooms and the Restaurant MARY'S.
