Lindner to change organisational structure

Dusseldorf. Lindner Hotels made their debut in 1996 with Germany's first 'New Media Hotel' and the slogan 'internet in bed'. Today, Chairman Otto Lindner wants to make more 'sexy hotels' - and if he has his way, he'll establish only these. He sees the German market as saturated. Now, he's ready to make the move abroad. Since 2000, the number of Lindner hotels has tripled and eleven hotels have grown to 34, six of which are due to open before the end of 2009. But how does the medium sized Dusseldorf based hotel company finance such expansion? This is a question certain to have occurred not only to the Austrians. Across the border in neighbouring Austria, Lindner has opened two hotels since last autumn and a further three are in the pipeline. "We offer a full range," Otto Lindner answers meaning: Each decision is based on synergies drawn from within the Lindner Company Group. The company family network makes it possible to develop tailor-made solutions and flexible finance models. What hardly anyone knows: Lindner has initiated its own funds - a conversation with Otto Lindner on contracts, finance, views and predictions.
