Project description

Hotel Maximilian is a leading hotel in Bad Griesbach, Bavaria, with 211 hotel rooms and a total lettable floor area of approximately 21,000 m². In addition to the hotel, the proposition includes various ancillary facilities, including an underground car park. The hotel was built in the 1980s and is in good condition.

To bring the hotel fully in line with contemporary standards of comfort and luxury, a construction escrow account is being set up through this proposition. Funds from this account will be used to modernize several facilities and rooms, working towards the requirements of a specialized spa-hotel operator who intends to take occupancy of the hotel in the near term. The renovation is fully funded by the landlord and must be completed prior to handover to the new operator. Following completion, it is intended that the initiator will transfer its own operations to the new operator, who will continue operations as part of a European portfolio of spa and wellness hotels.

Market description

The hotel market in Bad Griesbach im Rottal benefits strongly from the region's appeal as a spa resort and golf destination. Due to the growing popularity of health and wellness tourism, demand for hotel accommodation in the region remains high. In 2023 and 2024, the Bavarian hotel market showed signs of recovery, with rising occupancy rates in tourist regions such as Bad Griesbach. The increasing demand for relaxation and sports holidays contributes to a solid market for hotel real estate. Although there is limited new construction in the spa- and golf-hotel segment, this supports stable occupancy rates and strong returns for existing hotels.

Due to the combination of a steady influx of wellness and golf tourists and the relatively limited expansion of new hotel real estate, Bad Griesbach remains an attractive market for investors. Demand for quality accommodation and wellness facilities contributes to a favourable investment climate with stable rental income and growth potential within the more luxurious hotel segment.

End user

The hotel property is leased through Hotel Maximilian Betriebsgesellschaft GmbH, a company affiliated with the initiator, which carries out the hotel operations in-house. In this context, the complete existing hotel operation of Hotel Maximilian was taken over last year, including but not limited to staff, guest database and inventory, with a clear administrative separation maintained between the real estate and hotel operations. It is intended that these operations will be transferred to the envisaged new operator following completion of the renovation and handover, so that the hotel can be continued under its management.

Hotel Maximilian caters to golf and wellness enthusiasts, with a strong focus on high-quality relaxation and sporting activities. The hotel offers excellent golf facilities, including five 18-hole golf courses and various training options. The hotel previously held five-star status, and with the planned renovations and further improvements, the aim is to reach this level of operation once again. The offering appeals to both recreational guests and wellness-oriented visitors, with the golf experience at its core.

Underlying organisation

The loan is provided to Hotel Das Ludwig Betriebsgesellschaft GmbH for setting up a construction escrow account for the further development and modernization of Hotel Maximilian, as well as further real estate investments by the initiator. The hotel portfolio in Bad Griesbach was acquired in 2025. Since then, the initiator has stabilized and improved the operational performance.

Over the past decades, a carefully built-up portfolio has been assembled, consisting of both residential and commercial real estate in Germany, the Netherlands, England and Spain. The strategic focus, particularly on Germany, provides a solid asset base and enables the initiator to continue developing and to benefit from future growth opportunities.

The initiator is also involved as a shareholder in the following propositions financed by Crowdrealestate: Woningen Beieren, Bad Griesbach, Familiehotel Das Ludwig, Vijfsterrenhotel Maximilian, Wellnesshotel Fürstenhof and Modernisering Fürstenhof. As a result, a cluster risk may exist. A detailed overview of the risk factors is set out in the Key Investment Information Sheet (KIIS) - Part C.
