Vienna, 13 February 2025: Fellner Wratzfeld & Partner (fwp) has successfully advised the SORAVIA Group on the entry of LC Hospitality Holding AG, a subsidiary of Limestone Capital AG, into the LOISIUM Group. The strategic partnership is intended to drive the expansion of LOISIUM Hotels and combine relaxation in vineyards and exclusive spa experiences. Closing of the transaction took place on 4 February 2025.

Under a share deal Limestone Capital Hospitality Holding AG, an established player in the hospitality sector, acquired a majority stake of 60% in LOISIUM Wine & SPA Holding GmbH, which will take on the future lead management of LOISIUM Hotels. The aim of the partnership is to develop the LOISIUM brand and to expand the Wine & Spa hotels operated under that brand. Successful closing took place on 4 February 2025. fwp provided comprehensive advice on all corporate, employment-law and M&A-related aspects of the transaction, once again demonstrating its leading expertise in the area of corporate/M&A.

"We are delighted to have supported SORAVIA in this pioneering step and to have set the legal course for a successful partnership and expansion," says fwp partner Markus Fellner, who advised on the transaction together with his team.

By means of the entry of Limestone Capital Hospitality Holding AG as a strategic investor the proven LOISIUM concept, which combines wine culture, exclusive spa enjoyment and modern design, will be further enhanced and expanded to new destinations. The LOISIUM Wine & Spa hotels stand for a unique combination of relaxation, regional wine tradition and innovative architecture, embedded in picturesque vineyard landscapes. The participation of the Limestone Group will not only strengthen the LOISIUM brand in the long term but will also open up new locations in attractive wine regions. The LOISIUM Group will thus further expand its position as a leading provider in the premium segment for wine and wellness experiences.

This transaction once again underscores fwp's strong position as a leading law firm in the area of corporate/M&A, particularly in complex shareholding structures and international investments.
