AHGZ belongs to Matthaes-Verlag and is the only weekly newspaper in the German hotel and gastronomy industry. Every year at the end of June, it traditionally publishes a table of the country's top 50 hotel companies in terms of sales. The list for 2017 shows that Steigenberger Hotels AG has retained fourth position in the rankings and is thus once again confirmed as a leading performer in this regard.

"We are delighted to have secured one of the foremost spots in the AHGZ rankings," said Thomas Willms, CEO, Deutsche Hospitality. "2017 was a successful year. 2018 has seen us establish our new brand MAXX by Steigenberger, a further hotel line that will enable us to appeal to even more guests whilst still offering the usual high Steigenberger level of quality."

MAXX has clear stipulations in place for aspects such as service, staff and F&B, and these are aligned with the standards of Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts. At the same time, however, the brand is able to embrace different destinations, locations and room sizes and also accommodates the architecture of individual hotels, especially for franchise partners.

The rankings which have just appeared relate to the brands of Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts and IntercityHotel, which operate a total of 76 properties in Germany. Further locations can be found in Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, China, Egypt, Dubai, Spain, Oman, Tunisia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Qatar, the Cape Verde Islands, India and Hungary.
