About us
Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG combines strategic thinking with entrepreneurial execution. From that mindset, ventures of our own have grown, from a group of private premium hotels to an impact-oriented foundation.
Origin
A name that connects.
The roots of the Thurn und Taxis family reach back to the 12th century. Over centuries the family built the first organised postal and communication network in Europe, connecting people, courts and cities reliably across borders. The family has carried this name since 1650.
We carry that standard forward. We understand the name as an obligation to be met every day: through reliability, through discretion and through work that lasts. On the supervisory board the family is represented by Philipp Prinz von Thurn und Taxis.
Today we connect what belongs together: strategy with execution, ambition with result, and partners across industries and continents.
The company
Tradition. Strategy. Execution.
We began as a consultancy and have grown well beyond it. Today Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG is the roof over entrepreneurial ventures that we do not merely recommend, but build and lead ourselves.
What connects our fields is a shared mindset: quality before volume, substance before show, and the ambition to finish what we start. This combination of tradition and drive is our signature.
Our mindset
We develop and steer. We deliver.
Strategy only takes effect once it reaches the ground. That is why we accompany our projects from the first idea into daily operations and take responsibility for the result, not only for the advice.
This mindset connects everything we do. It is the reason we do not only recommend our ventures, but build them, lead them and answer for them over years.
Our fields
However different our activities are, they follow the same standard of quality and reliability.
Consulting is our origin and our core competence. We think strategically, but we do not stop there: we accompany companies and institutions into implementation and take responsibility for the result.
This combination of strategy and execution is the measure we let ourselves be judged by.
In our houses it is not the grand gesture that counts, but the coherent whole. Personal service, discretion and a genuine love of detail make a stay more than a night away.
We understand hospitality as a mindset you feel long before you can name it.
Through the Social Entrepreneurship Foundation we support entrepreneurial solutions to social challenges in Ghana and West Africa. Partners on the ground build durable structures under their own power. We develop and steer, we do not replace.
Thurn und Taxis Consulting AG is responsible for development and steering, remunerated through a transparent management fee.
What guides us
Trust does not come from promises, but from shared values. Only when that foundation holds does a collaboration last for years, in consulting as much as in the hotels and in the Foundation.
We do not only advise, we build ourselves. This spirit of co-entrepreneurship shapes every decision we make and every decision we support.
We forgo the quick solution in favour of the best one. We measure ourselves by results, not by announcements.
We advise what is right, not what sells best. Our recommendations follow the matter at hand, not outside interests.
We work quietly and confidentially in demanding contexts. Restraint towards third parties is a matter of course for us.
We understand collaboration as a long-term relationship among equals, durable in good times as well as demanding ones.
We answer for the result, not only for the advice. Commercial and impact-oriented activities we keep cleanly separate.
