Feuring Hotelconsulting GmbH

What Feuring Hotelconsulting GmbH does

Feuring Hotelconsulting GmbH is a privately held German boutique consultancy founded in 1959 in Mainz by Berno-H. Feuring, specializing in end-to-end hotel development and asset management services for the first-class and luxury hospitality segment. The firm operates with an 18-person senior team organized across Advisory Services, Development, Transaction & Development, and Operational Asset Management, and is led by Managing Partners Bardo M. Feuring (founder's family) and Matthias Lowin. Its service portfolio spans location evaluation, market and feasibility analysis, valuations, concept and space programming, owner representation, construction steering, FF&E procurement, operator procurement, ESG advisory, crisis management and restructuring, and ongoing asset management mandates. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenues derived from professional services fees on individual hotel development mandates and recurring managed-services fees from long-term asset management contracts (including a 30-year operator mandate for Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport and active management of six hotels under Steigenberger brands in Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria).

The firm goes to market through a relationship-driven, referral-based enterprise sales motion targeting hotel owners, developers, institutional real estate investors, and international hotel operators, rather than through mass marketing. Geographic reach spans Germany (Mainz headquarters), Italy (Milan via jointly controlled subsidiary Feuring Italia S.R.L. established in 2018 with Francesco Paternostro), and a project footprint covering Europe (including Spain, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, France, UK, Switzerland, Finland, Cyprus, Portugal), Morocco (23 projects since the 1960s), and the United States. The firm reports more than 400 realized hotel concepts globally since 1959, with landmark partnerships and projects spanning Trusthouse Forte, Mövenpick, Le Méridien (now Marriott), Westin/Starwood, Steigenberger, Hyatt (since 2008), Hilton, and Jumeirah, and is currently developing the first Andaz hotel in Lisbon for 2025. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML, or external funding; Feuring operates as a family-owned professional services firm dependent on senior human expertise and institutional relationships.
