About Us

Ringhotels President
"Welcome to the Ringhotels! We make home enjoyment an experience. Here you can find out more about our promise to our guests."
For Ringhotels, Heimat is more than just a place or an origin: Heimat stands for the relationship between people and space, for the character and identity of the hotel and for the feeling of being rooted in its surroundings. This connection with the region is our focus. Our core promise is "Experience real home enjoyment". After all, each of the privately run hotels is truly unique, in which you can feel the personal signature of the hosts and the regional connection. Not only creativity, but also tradition is at play. Many of the houses have been run by one family for generations. They always express their closeness to their homeland in a new way, whether in the regional and seasonal dishes of the kitchen, in the typical local ambience of the premises or in the daily activities.
Our Ringhotels brand cooperation unites hotels in the mid-range and upscale hotel segment throughout Germany. Each of our member hotels is unique and is characterized by its private, very personal management, typical local ambience and excellent cuisine with seasonal products from the region. The mostly family-run establishments include professional conference hotels as well as cozy vacation hotels or modern wellness oases and city hotels for your next city trip. The Ringhotels also include historic manor houses and castles. These historic hotels are also managed under the brand name “Gast im Schloss”.
Ringhotels is a member of the Global Alliance of Private Hotels. This global alliance also includes Cozy Places, Contact Hotels, Petit Hotels, Small Danish Hotels, Golden Chain Hotels, Asure Hotel Group and Classic Norway Hotels.
The hotel cooperation Ringhotels e.V. was founded on January 25, 1973. The aim of the founders was to form a counterbalance to the large international hotel companies on the German market. Three purchasing cooperatives, known as “purchasing rings”, from Lower Saxony, Baden-Württemberg and Lower Bavaria joined forces to form a hotel cooperation. This gave rise to the name “Ringhotels”.
