Immobilien: „Erfahrener Investor“ übernimmt insolventes Frankfurter Luxushotel
Für die mehr als 100-köpfige Belegschaft des Hotels bei Frankfurt gibt es wieder eine Perspektive. Eine Besonderheit hatte den Verkauf des ehemaligen Hilton-Hotels erschwert.
The Grand Hotel Gravenbruch in Neu-Isenburg, a former Hilton hotel, has been transferred to new ownership after months of uncertainty, according to Insolvenzverwalter Joachim Kühne. The European Union had imposed sanctions on Iranian businessman Ali Ansari, one of the previous co-owners of the hotel, due to his alleged support for the Iranian regime and Revolutionary Guard.
These EU sanctions resulted in the freezing of the luxury hotel's funds by German authorities, limiting even the Insolvenzverwalter's access to them. Despite agreeing with the British Comer Group International in October, obtaining the necessary approval from the authorities for the hotel's sale remained a significant hurdle. Both the Bundesbank and the Federal Office for Economics and Export Control (BAFA) were involved in approving the sale.
