Lindner Hotels

In 2015, 42 years after it was founded, the family-run Lindner Group has grown to become one of Germany's leading hotel companies. In 2014, it employed around 2,000 people and generated €179 million in turnover. The Lindner Group currently has 33 hotels in seven European countries, ranging from modern business hotels in major cities to a variety of high-class spa and sports resorts. Some hotels were taken on when they were experiencing financial difficulties and have been successfully re-positioned on the market. In recent times, franchises have been added. Like the group's existing hotels, these offer individual holiday concepts, excellent quality, and innovative spa experiences. Otto Lindner, the second generation of the family to lead the company, has pioneered new hotel concepts that have won numerous awards. Most notably, the first-ever zoo-themed hotel, the Lindner Park-Hotel Hagenbeck in Hamburg, was awarded the Hotel Property of the Year award, and Otto Lindner was voted Hotelier of the Year.
