The cornerstones of HMG’s hotel philosophy are a uniform quality standard in the 4 to 5-star categories, high grade and modern furnishings, fittings and equipment as well as excellent service with a Best Price guarantee. This family-owned company has been successfully present on the market for almost twenty years – in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The extension of existing hotels is being planned for the medium term.

THE BEGINNING
HMG, Hotel Management & Servicegesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, with headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, was founded in 1990 by Ignaz Blodinger. During the first 15 years, the company became successfully established as a franchisee of the Steigenberger Hotels and InterCityHotels brands in Frankfurt am Main, Wuppertal, Bremen and Munich.

Ignaz Blodinger’s vision to set up his own hotel chain named after his old friend and 007 inventor Ian Fleming became reality in 2005. In May of that year, the first hotel under the new brand “Fleming’s Hotels and Restaurants” – with a Brasserie and Delicatessan – was opened at the Frankfurter Messe exhibition grounds. Other hotels followed shortly afterwards in Munich-City, Munich-Schwabing, Frankfurt-Neue Börse, Vienna-Westbahnhof and Zurich.

Besides nine of its own and six franchise hotels, HMG operates three?? [Four??] boarding houses under the brand name of “LiV’iN” in Frankfurt [& Vienna??].

GASTRONOMY CONCEPT
In parallel, the company has also developed a restaurant concept that has been implemented successfully in hotels in Germany and Austria. The brands include: Fleming’s Brasserie & Delicatessen, Fleming’s Restaurant & Wine Bar, Fleming’s Club as a Grill-Lounge-Bar as well as Fleming’s Grill & Seafood Restaurant.
Guests are spoiled with a successful combination of first class gourmet cuisine
and delicious culinary delights.

A wide selection of national and international wine, French specialties and excellent patisserie are offered in the restaurants as well as at the take-away counter, in addition to a richly-varied breakfast, light, quick lunches and high quality Black Angus beef steaks. And you can also enjoy the entire Fleming’s Brasserie “dining culture” in the beauty of your own home. This includes fine porcelain, stylish glasses, high quality cutlery as well as refined accessories and decorative items.

SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY
Social responsibility is a firm element of the company’s policy: this family-owned company engages continuously in developing its 600 employees in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by regularly offering a broad range of opportunities for further education, training and seminars.

Since 2009, the Ignaz Blodinger prize is being awarded in memory of the founder of the company. Every year, talented junior employees are provided with individually-tailored measures for their career development. In this respect, an innovative mentality, outstanding performance and dedication during the selection of the young, qualified staff plays a significant role.

Furthermore, HMG considers itself to be a partner of the locations and regions where its hotels are situated. Accordingly, the company engages in regional and nationwide projects, clubs and foundations.

Examples of this are the Frankfurt-based Israel Cancer Association, the Horizont e. V., the Jutta Speidel Foundation for Homeless Mothers and their Children as well as the MAG’s Stadtteiltreff in Berg am Laim, Munich, a social neighbourhood support project. Since the early death of Ignaz Blodinger, the company is headed today by his daughter Dr. Anat Blodinger and Hartmut Schröder, an experienced hotelier and long-standing family friend.
