The Hotel Bayerischer Hof hosts seminars, conferences, company dinners and weddings for up to 300 guests, across ten meeting rooms that range from a 10-person boardroom to a 245 m² hall with lake views. The five-star hotel stands on the harbor promenade of Lindau, on the island in Lake Constance, facing the Alps.
Seminars and company events
The meeting space sits on two levels. On the ground floor, Meersburg, Bregenz and Lindau all have daylight. Lindau, a 195 m² pavilion that opens toward the lake promenade, takes 200 people in rows and 150 at a banquet. On the fourth floor, Konstanz I to III and Reichenau look over the lake and can be darkened for projection. Konstanz splits into three rooms of 80 m² each, which lets a plenary session move into workshops on the same floor. Most rooms come with a pinboard, flipchart, screen, phone line, wired and wireless internet and air conditioning. Projectors, laptops and microphone systems can be added. Conference room rates apply from 10 participants meeting at the hotel and include breakfast and spa access.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes weddings, balls, birthday parties and other private celebrations in its historic building, with a dedicated event and conference contact. Bregenz and Lindau combine into an L-shaped space of 295 m² that seats 230 guests for a banquet, with a view of the lake. Special menus are prepared for larger events and private parties.

History and setting
The hotel occupies a historic building on Bahnhofplatz, at the edge of Lindau's old town, with the harbor, its lighthouse and its lion statue directly in front. The lanes of the island, its shops and the lake promenade are all within walking distance, and lake boats leave from the harbor.
Getting there
Lindau-Insel station is a few minutes' walk from the hotel and is served by regional trains. Long-distance trains stop at Lindau-Reutin on the mainland. Bregenz in Austria and the Swiss shore of the lake are a short drive or boat ride away.
