About Ringhotels

The hotel cooperative Ringhotels e.V. was founded on January 25, 1973. The founders aimed to create a counterpoint to the large international hotel corporations in the German market. Three purchasing cooperatives, known as "Einkaufsringe," from Lower Saxony, Baden-Württemberg, and Lower Bavaria merged to form a hotel cooperative, thus creating the name "Ringhotels."

From the Alps to the sea, the cooperative unites Ringhotels across Germany. The motto of Ringhotels, "Experience Genuine Home Pleasure," is a program. A private, very personal management, local ambiance, and excellent cuisine characterize the member hotels. In nearly five decades, the hotel cooperative has successfully established and developed itself in the German market. Among the mostly family-run businesses are professional conference hotels as well as family-friendly holiday hotels, modern wellness oases, and city hotels for city breaks. Under the umbrella of the second brand, "HeimatGefühl by Ringhotels," smaller hotels and country inns convey a special sense of "home feeling."

Ringhotels e.V. (www.ringhotels.de) is a member of the "Global Alliance of Private Hotels," which also includes Hôtels de Charme et de Caractère, Petit Hotels (www.petithotel.se), Small Danish Hotels (www.smalldanishhotels.dk), Golden Chain Hotels (www.goldenchain.com.au), the Asure Hotel group (www.asurestay.com), and Classic Norway Hotels (www.classicnorway.com).
