The crowd succes story
Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences is a traditional austrian company owned by the Falkensteiner family since 1975. Although the preservation of tradition is a priority at the hotels, the company focuses on innovation to meet the modern demand of its guests.
Falkensteiner also applies this philosophy when looking for new ways of financing. In 2017, the hotel group found the optimal partner for its project: in October 2017, Falkensteiner launched the company's first crowdfunding together with Invesdor (formerly Finnest) - with resounding success.
Since then, Falkensteiner and Invesdor have jointly launched six successful crowdfunding rounds. In 2019, they even broke the record and raised €13,2 million, the largest crowdfunding in Europe. Worldwide, this was the third largest project at the time. Today, a total of over €27 million has been raised with more than 3,100 investors.
On 04/11/2021 the success story continued
The 7th Falkensteiner crowdinvesting campaign ran under the motto ''Let's Keep going! - Reaching new heights together and profiting from growth''.
Falkensteiner is using the raised capital to invest in new locations, the expansion of its brand presence in Germany and in digitalisation measures, among other things. All investors not only benefit from 4 % interest p.a. or 6 % interest p.a. in the form of vouchers, but also receive attractive bonuses again such as free nights and discounts for the Falkensteiner hotels.

What our investors say
"My husband and I are true Falkensteiner fans and have been regular guests at the Balance Resort Stegersbach for many years. We didn't hesitate when we heard about the crowdfunding-opportunity. We are not only investing in a successful family business, but also in our vacation. Thats's why we get our interest rate payed out in vouchers.''
Friedhilde Böhme
"When we heard about the crowdinvestment for the Falkensteiner Hotel Group, we did not hesitate for one second. We have been following the development of the group for many years and are impressed by the extraordinary success story. We are also long-standing guests of the Falkensteiner Hotel Group and regularly visit the hotels in Carinthia, Croatia and Italy. The high service quality and family-friendly environment in combination with the design-oriented hotels inspire us again and again. For us, the crowdinvestment model was an ideal way to achieve a top return on our investment and then use it on our vacation. We will be on board for the next financing round as well.''
Ing. Josef Bogensperger jun, MAS
''Even before our son was born, we were guests at the Falkensteiner hotels. Now he is already eight years old and we still spend our holidays in the different hotels of the Falkensteiner Group. We find the right hotel for every life situation. Therefore, it was a logical step for us to invest in Falkensteiner and get the interest in the form of vouchers so that we can use them on our next trips.''
