Alte Schule in Siek is a small private hotel and restaurant in a former village school, set up for meetings of up to 50 people and wedding celebrations of 50 to 70 guests. It has 19 bedrooms on site and is run by the Franke family. The scale suits organizers who want a close, hosted event rather than a large conference center.
Seminars and company events
The main meeting room measures 57 m² and comes with conference technology. The hotel sells it as a room hire for up to 50 people, and as a meeting package for 10 to 25 people. The package includes the room, standard meeting equipment (a pin board, two flipcharts with paper and pens, a projection screen), staff service during the meeting, mineral water, coffee and tea without limit, two breaks with fruit salad, sweet snacks and cake, and a lunch. A comfort version has a two-course lunch.
A second room, the former teachers' room, can be rented for up to 10 people. An additional room can be added to a booking. Seating can be arranged as block, banquet, cinema, parliamentary, T-shape or U-shape. Add-ons include evening menus with two to five courses, breakfast items and extra equipment such as a moderator case.
The hotel also offers a variant that combines a meeting with a cooking course led by the head chef, in the former bowling alley that is now a cooking school. The website notes that this variant is currently not bookable.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding package is for groups of at least 50 and at most 70 guests. It runs from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., and guests can say goodbye until 3 a.m. without music for an additional room fee. The aperitif is served on the garden terrace or in the hotel lobby, and dinner takes place in daylight-filled rooms. Ten bedrooms above the restaurant must be booked with the wedding.
The package includes a four-course menu, which guests may mix, or a buffet. Tables are set with white linen, menu cards, candles and flowers from the house. The couple receives a night in the wedding room with a sparkling-wine breakfast and late departure.
