arcona Hotels & Resorts end insolvency

Rostock, June 27, 2024 - arcona Hotels & Resorts has undergone a comprehensive restructuring over the past seven months and was able to divest operations on Rügen (arcona Living First Sellin), in Thuringia (Romantik Hotel Auf der Wartburg) and Austria (Triforêt) during this phase. This made a significant contribution to restoring the company's economic performance.

At the creditors' meetings of arcona Hotels & Resorts on June 26, 2024, the insolvency plans of the self-administered companies were approved without dissenting votes in all proceedings.

This paves the way for arcona to take off again into a positive future after this challenging restructuring. The consequences of the corona pandemic, the energy crisis and the effects of inflation throughout Germany have caused considerable losses for the group, which was very expansive at the time, and ultimately led to insolvency under self-administration in November last year.

"We are pleased that our partners have remained loyal to us even in this difficult phase and that we were able to take the path of self-administration. The plans of our operating companies provide for payments to the creditors, which are also made up of shares of future profits and thus provide the creditors with a significantly better satisfaction than our liquidation," says Alexander Winter, Managing Director of arcona Hotels & Resorts.
