Well-established hotel and restaurant business with commercial property in a secluded, natural setting
Company Description
For sale is an owner-operated hotel and restaurant business that has been in operation for over 25 years, located in a quiet, secluded setting surrounded by nature in a tourist-friendly forested region—including the commercial property owned by the current owner. The property is located in the immediate vicinity of one of Germany’s most famous long-distance hiking trails and is nevertheless easily accessible (approx. 16 km from the A4).
The business model combines lodging, a restaurant with a large sun terrace, event and group catering, and additional tourist services. In 2025, approximately 61% of revenue came from the restaurant and approximately 39% from lodging.
The business has a well-established, very loyal customer base as well as a well-coordinated team, some of whom have been with the company for decades.
For several years now, the business has been deliberately managed at a consolidated level; event, group, and marketing activities have been scaled back for personal reasons. This presents a significant growth potential for a buyer that can be realized in the short term.
Highlights:
· Commercial property is included in the sale: approx. 1.8 ha of land, approx. 1,100 m² of usable floor space
· According to the current appraisal report, there is no backlog of repairs or need for renovation
· Over 20 guest rooms as well as two separate vacation homes—capacity for approximately 50–55 overnight guests
· Restaurant with approximately 90 indoor and 75 outdoor seats, suitable for celebrations and groups
· Excellent online reputation—including a 99% recommendation rate on a leading review site
· Well-coordinated team of 7 employees
· Potential for revenue growth of up to 50% (owner’s estimate) through the reactivation of proven business areas
· Significant economies of scale on fixed costs: +10% revenue ≈ +60 T€ profit per year without additional staff
Business property: A current market value appraisal is available and will be provided to serious prospective buyers.
