ACHAT Hotel- und Immobilienbetriebsgesellschaft mbH

What ACHAT Hotel- und Immobilienbetriebsgesellschaft mbH does

ACHAT Hotel- und Immobilienbetriebsgesellschaft mbH is a Mannheim-headquartered, privately held German hotel operator founded in 1991, owned since 2016 by the SME investor HANNOVER Finanz. Following a 2025/2026 restructuring, the company runs 32 hotels across 28+ German cities under a dual-brand structure: ACHAT Hotels (3- to 4-star superior, individually characterized properties with conference/event capability at 21+ locations) and LOGINN Hotels & Apartments (a lifestyle new-build brand at A/B locations, with serviced apartments and kitchenettes). The portfolio has been consolidated to focus on the German midscale segment after shedding unprofitable units during restructuring.

The company generates revenue primarily from individual room bookings via its direct website (with a best-price guarantee and flexible cancellation up to 6 PM on arrival) and third-party OTAs, supplemented by conference/MICE business, on-site F&B, gift vouchers, and a specialized sports-travel vertical. The sports vertical — anchored by the long-standing DFT-Sports training-camp partnership (350+ groups, 6,000+ athletes annually) and the DMSB Premium Partnership (since November 2023) — is a distinct niche, complemented by hotels strategically positioned near five major German racetracks. The customer mix also includes corporate and group travelers served through dedicated inquiry forms and an expanded MICE department, plus leisure/family guests (children stay free under 12) and lifestyle/long-stay guests under the LOGINN brand.

Operationally, ACHAT relies on standard hospitality technology rather than proprietary systems: a FutureLog centralized procurement platform (deployed across the group since January 2023), external booking and review platforms (TourOnline AG, Hotelpartner Germany GmbH, Review Rank S.A.), standard web analytics, and an off-the-shelf AI meeting tool (Dahua DeepHub) at selected conference hotels. The company has invested in portfolio-wide ESG positioning via GreenSign certification (2024) with dedicated ESG officers and Green Teams at each property, a sustainability partnership with Considerate Group, and a 'Green Deals' product line representing roughly one-third of bookings. Recent strategic activity includes the openings of LOGINN Hotel Offenbach (June 2024) and LOGINN Hotel Köln Airport (March 2025, ~70% first-year occupancy) alongside the post-restructuring restart announced for 2026.
