About Ringhotels Okel
Based in Munich, Ringhotels is a German hotel cooperation with up to 159 affiliated hotels, making it the largest German cooperation that is a part of the private hotel sector. It was founded in January 1973 with the goal of offering a contrast to the large, multi-national hotel chains found across the country. Ringhotels is currently a member of the Global Alliance of Private Hotels. Ringhotels are found all throughout Germany as well as in a number of neighboring countries.
Most of the member hotels are family-owned establishments that meet the standards of the cooperation. Some of the criteria to join the Ringhotels cooperation are the following: the personal management of the hotel, an excellent in-house restaurant featuring regional products, at least three to four stars in the DEHOGA classification, well-groomed staff, and friendly and professional employees.
Ringhotels consists of various conference hotels, holiday hotels, city hotels, and modern wellness centers, including Best Loved Hotels, Hôtels de Charme et de Caractère, Naturidyll Hotels, Petit Hotels, and Small Danish Hotels. Several historically significant manors and castles are also part of the cooperation’s portfolio as part of the German Castles brand. For all these hotels who are part of the association, Ringhotels manages public relations, training, sales, and marketing.
