  • The Jagdfeld Group plans to sell the iconic Hotel Adlon in Berlin for at least 280 million euros.
  • The sale requires investor approval, as the hotel is part of a fund managed by Jagdfeld, with around 4,000 owners, mostly private investors.
  • The hotel operator Kempinski has a lease until the end of 2032, and guests will not be affected by the sale in the short term.

The legendary Hotel Adlon, situated at Berlin's Pariser Platz, is slated for sale by the Jagdfeld Group for a minimum of 280 million euros. This significant transaction, however, hinges on the approval of the fund's investors. The hotel is managed under the Jagdfeld Group's Fundus-Fonds 31, which comprises approximately 4,000 owners, predominantly private individuals nearing an age where they wish to divest their assets.

Jagdfeld stated that the sale aligns with the investors' desires, aiming to secure the highest possible price. The group emphasized its strong financial position, allowing them to initiate this sale "freely and of their own volition," transferring Germany's most famous hotel to new ownership. The proposal to the shareholders suggests a fund liquidation with a floor price of 280 million euros.

With the intended sale, we best fulfill the wishes of the investors and are thus able to achieve the highest possible price.

โ€” Jagdfeld GroupThe Jagdfeld Group explained its rationale for selling the Hotel Adlon.

A 75 percent majority of votes is required for the sale to proceed. Should it be approved, an international broker will manage a structured bidding process. For hotel guests, the potential change in ownership will not bring immediate alterations. The Jagdfeld Group confirmed an existing lease agreement with the hotel operator, Kempinski, which extends through the end of 2032.

The fund company is in the comfortable position of being able to go this way freely and of its own volition and hand over Germany's most famous hotel to new hands.
