Hotel am Hochrhein in Bad Säckingen takes day meetings, training sessions and multi-day seminars for groups of up to 50 people, with 70 bedrooms for participants who stay overnight. The three-star superior hotel stands on Rheinuferstraße, on the German bank of the Upper Rhine, with views over the river, the Black Forest, the town and across to Switzerland.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its meeting rooms in time blocks, so a team can book a morning, an afternoon or a full day. Packages start at 10 participants and combine coffee breaks with healthy options and either a regional lunch buffet or a three-course lunch. A seasonal three-course dinner in the restaurant can close the day. For events that run over several days, an overnight package and special room rates for meeting guests are available. Breaks move to the ground-floor terrace, which has been redesigned, or to the winter garden. Wifi is free throughout, and the hotel describes its parking as ample.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting rooms are bright and free of columns. Rheinblick is the large room, with space for up to 40 people, a separate conference table for 10 and its own coffee kitchen. Its block price includes a projector, a screen, a flipchart, a television, and one cold soft drink with coffee or tea per person. The Flößerstube is a newer conference room for up to 10, fitted with a television and a coffee machine; a projector and screen can be added on request. The hotel states that its meeting rooms take groups of up to 50 people. It does not publish room sizes or theatre and classroom layouts on its pages, and a meeting brochure with prices can be downloaded from its website.
Accommodation
The hotel has 70 guest rooms. Meeting groups that stay overnight receive special rates, which makes the house practical for a two-day workshop where everyone sleeps on site and walks downstairs to the meeting room in the morning.
Catering
The restaurant Zum Fährmann has a terrace on the Rhine and serves regional and seasonal cooking, and the hotel bar stays open in the evening. Food during meetings depends on the blocks booked: it is either included or added as an option, from snacks to full menus. The hotel also offers a catering service.
History and setting
Bad Säckingen lies on the Upper Rhine, where the river forms the border between Germany and Switzerland, between Basel and Lake Constance. From the hotel's position on the riverbank, the restaurant terrace looks over the water to the Swiss shore, and breaks on the ground-floor terrace come with the same view.
