The story
The company's hospitality business first started in 1870, when Villa Soleil in Cap d'Antibes opened as a writers' retreat and later became the celebrated Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. After the success of Villa Soleil in Cap d'Antibes, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa in Baden-Baden happened to be the first "real" hotel operated by the August Oetker family. More hotels were gradually added, including the Hotel Le Bristol in Paris and the Château Saint-Martin & Spa in Vence. In 2026, the group opened its first hotel in the United States.
