About citizenM

citizenM is a real estate operator headquartered in NY 10011, United States.

citizenM is a fully integrated real‑estate developer, design and project management firm, and hotel operator dedicated to owning the hotels it operates. It uses centralized business controls and modular, prefabricated construction to reduce build time and increase profitability per square meter. Founded in 2005 with its first hotel opening in 2008 at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, citizenM has been in operation for roughly 17 years. As of early 2025, the company operates approximately 36 hotels across more than 20 cities in North America, Europe, and Asia–Pacific, totaling around 8,544 rooms. Its real‑estate focus centers on prime urban hubs and major airports, with emphasis on compact “micro” hotels that allocate less floor space to guest rooms while maintaining luxury standards via oversized beds, high‑quality design and efficient common spaces.
