Story

Behind the scenes of Kinderhotels

Early days 1988

Under the auspices of the Austrian National Tourist Office, we set ourselves the goal of offering the perfect family holiday, with the highest quality standards and expert care. At ITB 1988 we introduced what had until then been a purely Austrian hotel group to the public. After ten years the hotel cooperative formed a limited liability company (GmbH) in order to expand and operate internationally. Ever since it has been known by the Kinderhotels Europa GmbH brand and 50 hotels in four countries now trade under this name.

Brain behind the success: Gerhard Stroitz

Gerhard Stroitz is regarded as the person who started Kinderhotels. Sons Wolfgang and Christian gave the hotelier from Lake Faaker See and present Group General Manager the idea, because they both thought simple “farm holidays” were too boring; they wanted to make camp fires and build dens in the woods. From 1986 Stroitz gradually transformed his bed and breakfast business into a comprehensive hotel for children offering a wide range of activities. Gerhard Stroitz has been the hotel group’s General Manager since Kinderhotels Europa was set up.
