• The start of a strategic cooperation is the marketing of a first-class hotel development in the Kitzbühel Alps.
• mrp hotels supports EPH Group AG in its future strategy and investment strategy. 

Vienna, April 23, 2024 – mrp hotels has been exclusively mandated by EPH Group AG and its joint venture partners to market a first-class hotel development in the Kitzbühel Alps. A premium resort is being built on the 34,000 m² site in a prime location. mrp hotels is supporting EPH Group AG in the final positioning of the premium resort and in the search for further investment and operator partners.

The mandate is the start of the strategic cooperation in the course of the ongoing investment strategy. A particular focus is on identifying potential investments. The EPH Group plans to build up a diversified portfolio of high-yield hotels and resorts in the premium and luxury segment in Austria, Germany and other top European destinations.

Catherine Szolar, VP Advisory mrp hotels: "We were immediately convinced by EPH Group AG's approach. The strong demand for hotel concepts in the premium segment, particularly in destinations close to nature, makes the planned development project attractive for international investors and operators. We look forward to strategically supporting EPH Group AG on its growth path and providing long-term support with our in-depth knowledge of the hotel real estate market. This is a promising start for further joint projects."

Alexander Lühr, CEO EPH Group AG: „In mrp hotels, we have found the ideal partner for implementing our strategy. In particular, we will benefit from their extensive network of international partners and their vast experience in developing successful hotel projects. In future, we will work closely with mrp hotels in the selection of new investments, suitable operators and the procurement of new partners and investors. We are convinced that we have found a long-term strategic partner in mrp hotels, which will provide us with significant support in expanding our portfolio.“

In summer 2023, EPH Group AG issued a tourism bond with an interest rate of 10% p.a. and monthly interest payments. The bond has since been listed on the Frankfurt and Vienna stock exchanges, among others (ISIN: DE000A3LJCB4 / WKN: A3LJCB). EPH Group AG is planning an IPO in the "direct market plus" segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange in the medium term.
