Change of Managing Directors:
Philipp von Bodman will become Managing Director at the ACHAT Hotels;
Wilhelm Kotter retires.
Wilhelm Kotter successfully managed the business of ACHAT Hotels Germany for almost 20 years. But, at the end of the year, the native of Lower Bavaria says "so long". As part of the succession plan, Philipp von Bodman joined the Executive Board on September 1st. As of January 1st, 2019, the 43-year-old will take over sole responsibility for the company's management.
Growth with a Sense of Proportion
Under Wilhelm Kotter's management, the hotel group gradually developed. From 13 hotels with revenues of around € 5 million in 1998, there are now over 30 hotels with approximately € 65 million revenues. The new LOGINN by ACHAT brand for the premium budget segment is becoming increasingly established in the hotel sector. Several further contracts for new sites have been signed. Including in Offenbach am Main.
Von Bodman: Trained Hotel Professional with International Management Expertise
Philipp von Bodman has over 20 years of experience in the international hotel industry. Most recently, he was CEO of Primecity Investment and Head of Hotels at the MDAX-listed Aroundtown SA in Berlin, where he was responsible for more than 100 hotels. He's blazing new trails and pursuing new goals: "I am very pleased to be taking over ACHAT Hotels, a successful hotel group that has been well-established for more than 27 years. And especially to continue growing with the LOGINN by ACHAT brand. As the main shareholder, the Hannover Finanz Group is a strong partner for further expansion," says Philipp von Bodman.
