Story
Thirty years ago, Jana Sobotova and Petr Lukes founded CIMEX Karlovy Vary, spol. s.r.o..
This entity was on the forefront of what later became one of the most successful and accomplished business endeavors in the nation. Throughout the years, the business evolved and core-focus shifted towards commercial real estate and hospitality.
We pride ourselves on our complexity and abilities to carry out full scale hospitality operations. From asset ownership through efficient real estate property & facility management and a variety of operating and management models to top-line investment, financial & transaction management, our group of companies is able to independently cover full the entire investment cycle from the inception to divestment.
Our reputation precedes us as we continue to write to story that defines nation-wide standards in hospitality. Orea Hotels & Resorts became the pilot as well as most successful project. At AHG, we are proud to advise and govern OREA HOTELS & RESORTS on key strategy and management processes.
Simultaneously, our focus extends beyond OREA HOTELS & RESORTS and domestic operations. Since 2012, AHG provides strategic investment oversight of a variety of international investments into upper-upscale, luxury and ultra-luxury assets scattered on the global hospitality map. The ability to build a relationship with globally renowned hotels and resort operators bring a significant competitive advantage to our domestic asset management strategy.
