Seminars and company events
Achalm Hotel hosts meetings from 10 to 120 people in daylight rooms, and events of up to 200 guests in the Schafstall, a converted half-timbered barn. The hotel stands on the slope of the Achalm, the hill above Reutlingen in Baden-Württemberg, at Achalm (Gewand) 2. It suits a training day, a board meeting, a product launch or a company anniversary.
Meeting packages come as a full day, called Weitblick, or as a half day in the morning or the afternoon. They include a room set up to the brief, a projector and screen, a pinboard, a flipchart, writing materials, free Wi-Fi and a named event contact. Water and apple juice stay in the room, and coffee and tea are served in the conference foyer all day. The full day adds two breaks with fruit and snacks and a three-course lunch or a buffet, depending on group size. A three-course dinner can be added to close the day.
Weddings and receptions
The Schafstall, on the upper floor, is the space for weddings, anniversaries and large parties. It has been renovated and glazed while keeping its timber frame, takes up to 200 guests and has a large dance floor. The hotel publishes banquet menu suggestions and a list of partner suppliers, and also offers a smaller format for intimate celebrations. The site does not say whether ceremonies can take place on site.
Rooms and capacities
Eleven spaces are listed, all with daylight and windows that open. On the ground floor, Drakenberg, Gutenberg and Urselberg (45 square meters each, up to 16 people) open onto a terrace and combine into 90 square meters for 40 people or 135 square meters for 120 people. Roßberg and Georgenberg (25 square meters, 10 people each) combine for 16. The Hirtenzimmer, 90 square meters, takes up to 50. Upstairs, the Lounge seats 12 and the Schafstall holds 200 across 250 square meters. Most rooms are step-free and have blackout, ventilation and a projection screen.
Accommodation
Guests can stay on site in Classic rooms of 19 square meters, Junior Suites and accessible rooms of 31 square meters, or the two-room Achalm Suite of 50 square meters with a sofa bed. The site does not give a total room count, so a large group should ask how many rooms can be held for its dates.
Catering
The restaurant is open every day from lunch to evening, with dining rooms named Turmzimmer, Kastanienzimmer and Loungezimmer, plus an outdoor area. Seminar lunches, dinners and wedding banquets come from the hotel kitchen, and seasonal menus, such as a goose dinner in November, appear on the program.
History and setting
The Achalm is the local hill of Reutlingen, a little over 700 meters high and crowned by the ruins of a medieval castle. The hotel sits on its slope above the town, with the wide view over Reutlingen and the edge of the Swabian Alb that the venue puts forward for its events and its terrace receptions.
Getting there
Reutlingen main station has regional trains to Tübingen and Stuttgart, and the hotel is a short taxi ride up the hill from the station. Stuttgart Airport is about 30 kilometers away by road, which makes the venue workable for a regional meeting with some participants flying in.
