Hotel St. Raphael

What Hotel St. Raphael does

Hotel St. Raphael is a 3-star superior conference, seminar, and vacation hotel located at Bischof-Freundorfer-Weg 24 in Kempten, in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany. It is legally operated by InHoGa gGmbH, a non-profit company (gGmbH) under the umbrella of the Katholische Jugendfürsorge der Diözese Augsburg e. V. (KJF Augsburg). The hotel functions as an Inklusionshotel — an inclusion enterprise that actively employs people with disabilities as part of its social mission, formally branded with the "Mehrwert Inklusive" certification. Managing Director Anja Beil leads the operating entity.

The hotel's core offerings are organized around three pillars: accommodation (Übernachten), conference and meeting services (Tagen & Lernen) with five flexible rooms accommodating 6–70 participants, and an on-site restaurant serving regional Allgäu cuisine. These core services are extended by add-on modules including the Garden Club Lounge, Fire Lounge, DIY grilling experiences, a year-round events program, bus-tour group packages, an on-site chapel (established 2012), and seasonal offerings such as a Silvester New Year's Eve package. Technology stack consists of standard hospitality SaaS: the DIRS21 v4 booking engine for direct reservations, Mapp Intelligence (formerly Webtrekk) for web analytics, TrustYou for reputation management, and CleverReach for email marketing. Pricing is mid-market, with breakfast at EUR 20.50–24.50 per adult and the Silvester dinner at EUR 89.26 per person.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: hotel accommodation, restaurant and catering (including event banqueting), and conference/event venue rental. Go-to-market is sales-led and domestic-only, relying on direct website/phone bookings, event inquiry forms, tourism platforms (Tripadvisor, HolidayCheck), bus-tour operators, gift voucher sales via e-guma.ch, and organic social media. Customer segments span corporate conference and event clients (primary), individual leisure travelers, and private celebration/banquet guests. Revenue, headcount, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or major restructuring are on record.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• AKZENT Hotels: German consortium of independently owned 3-4 star hotels with strong regional cuisine and small-scale MICE offerings. Closely matches Hotel St. Raphael in star tier, size, and product mix while remaining family/independent in character.

Broad incumbents

• Maritim Hotelgesellschaft: German hotel chain well known for conference and seminar properties with on-site restaurants and event spaces. Direct functional overlap with St. Raphael's 'Tagen & Lernen' offering, though at greater scale and brand reach.
• Dorint Hotels & Resorts: German-headquartered hotel group with properties featuring meeting and conference facilities, regional cuisine, and leisure amenities. Overlaps with St. Raphael on full-service hotel operations, F&B, and MICE, but as a broad multi-property operator.
• Lindner Hotels & Resorts: A German hotel group operating multiple full-service and conference hotels across Bavaria and other regions. Comparable to Hotel St. Raphael on the conference/MICE and accommodation axis, but operates at much larger scale and as a commercial (non-inclusion) chain.
• Best Western Hotels Germany: Largest German hotel marketing consortium with many 3-star superior properties offering accommodation, regional dining, and small-to-mid-size meeting facilities. Closely comparable in tier and service mix to Hotel St. Raphael, but commercial and chain-affiliated.

Regional players

• Hotel Edelweiss Berchtesgaden: A Bavarian Alpine regional hotel offering accommodation, restaurant, and conference/group services to leisure and corporate clients. Comparable on regional positioning, mixed leisure/business demand, and on-site F&B.
• Hotel Maximilian's Augsburg: Bavarian regional full-service hotel with conference and event facilities under the same KJF Augsburg diocesan umbrella-adjacent geography. Comparable on regional southern-German positioning and event-business mix.
• Hotel Das Rübezahl: Allgäu-region 4-star superior hotel with spa, restaurant, and event offerings. Comparable as a regional Allgäu/Bavarian competitor targeting both leisure and small-conference demand with strong F&B component.
• Hotel Alpenrose Kempten: Independent hotel in the Kempten/Allgäu market offering accommodation and restaurant services. Closest same-city competitor to Hotel St. Raphael with overlapping leisure-traveler and bus-tour demand.

Others

• CleverReach GmbH: Email marketing platform provider used by Hotel St. Raphael for guest newsletter communications. An enabling technology peer rather than a competitor — included to reflect the company's marketing-stack ecosystem.
