Excellence in Hospitality. Krauthahn Consulting.

New Markets. New Customers. Increased Revenues.

 Are you looking to anchor your hotel group more strongly in key customer segments or expand revenue streams with focus? Or are you opening a new property — possibly in a market that is still unfamiliar to your team?

Krauthahn Consulting supports you with clear analysis, strategic expertise and a precise understanding of European buyer landscapes. We identify where new opportunities open up and which partners are relevant for sustainable market presence — creating a solid foundation for commercial success.
For more than three decades, I have worked in exactly these business environments - where market positioning, international sales structures and trusted relationships come together. I recognise which partners generate real relevance and how potential turns into concrete results.

Whether market entry, repositioning or the targeted development of core segments, we build the strategic, operational and human conditions that enable scalable growth. National and international hospitality brands have trusted this approach for many years - in Germany, across Europe and in the United States.

Strategic Marketing & Sales Development

Even in a time shaped by digitalisation, algorithms and social media, hospitality remains a people’s business. Visibility is not created through volume, but through relevance, resonance and the ability to build relationships with intent. This is where Krauthahn Consulting operates — with clear structure, consistent brand presence and commercial impact that holds over time.

Our work begins with analysis: markets, trends, buyer landscapes and the real needs of your target groups. From this, we develop strategies that work in practice - focused in direction and effective in execution. We identify channels with genuine traction and build scalable sales and marketing architectures that strengthen long-term relationships and deliver a reliable return on investment.

Since 2001, international hotel groups as well as boutique and luxury properties have placed their trust in this approach - grounded in market insight, commercial intelligence and a precise understanding of global hospitality dynamics. It creates the framework in which long-term success and sustained brand relevance can grow.

Monika Krauthahn

Your goals, your project and the return on investment you are aiming for sit at the centre of my work.

With a background in business administration, I combine analytical
clarity with a calm focus on what creates sustainable commercial impact: your clients, your guests and the people within your team.

For more than three decades, I have worked at the intersection of strategic sales, market positioning and human resonance.

Leadership roles with Hilton International, Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten Hotel Hamburg, Compass Group and the New York–based IMC Group have honed my commercial compass - analytical, human, focused and geared towards scalable results.

As a reliable partner, I support organisations through market entries,
business transitions and phases of repositioning.

I bring structure to complex commercial landscapes, open doors across markets and translate potential into concrete, long-term outcomes.

Always with the aim of creating clarity, building resonance and defining a commercial direction that grows with intention and holds over time.

Yours,

Monika Krauthahn
