Oetker Collection hotels
Individually named grand hotels preserve their own traditions, from Baden-Baden to the Riviera.
Oetker Hotels gathers individually named hotels with substantial histories and a strong sense of their setting. Formally brought together in 2008 and previously known as Oetker Collection, the family-owned group gives each house room to retain its own architecture, interiors, and approach to hospitality.
12 Oetker Collection hotels in 8 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas (1 not open yet), each placed on the six LHA Tiers.
- Owned by Oetker Hotel Management
- Worldwide: 12 open properties across 9 countries as of early 2026, anchored in France (5 properties including four Atout France Palace-designated hotels), with further representation in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Brazil, Antigua, and the United States.

History
The Oetker family assembled its collection one hotel at a time, with historic houses retaining substantial parts of their own identities. Brenners, Hôtel du Cap, and Le Bristol each brought a long hospitality story into the family. That continuity remains an important part of how the collection approaches its buildings.
