The Igelwirt can host seminars in five equipped meeting rooms of 28 to 100 m², and weddings or private celebrations for up to 60 guests, in a family hotel on the Schlossberg in Schnaittach. It sits next to a castle ruin, above the Osternohe valley, with direct access to the A9 motorway north of Nuremberg.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers all-in meeting solutions: fully equipped rooms from 28 to 100 m², catering and accommodation. Five rooms are named on the official site: Igel-View, Schnaittach, Schlossberg, Kirschbaumsaal and Osternohe. A projector is provided. Meeting packages include an overnight stay and full board, and the hotel states that it charges no cancellation or rebooking fees. The rooms are described as bright and the setting as calm, away from the noise of a city. Breaks can be organized with pretzels, filled rolls, muffins, croissants or home-style regional dishes, and a buffet can be requested.
For team events the hotel works with the Abenteuerwerkstatt in Betzenstein, which offers sport, leisure, creative and team-building workshops that can be booked together with a seminar. Since 2015 it has also cooperated with the Kom3pass trainers on team-building, coaching and personnel development. A guided walk to a nearby organic brewery with a beer tasting is another way to close a working day.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel receives weddings, birthdays, communions, confirmations and other celebrations for up to 60 guests, in separate rooms reserved for private parties. The large Kirschbaumsaal has a view over the valley. A courtyard, a beer garden under a maple tree and a panorama terrace are also available, and ceremonies can take place on the terrace. The team takes care of decoration, catering and the accommodation of guests. Table linen is white, and the choice of table runners, candles and napkins in a color of your choice is part of the service. The kitchen recommends three or four course menus and offers variations in which guests choose starter, soup and dessert. Around 10 p.m. a cheese board, cold cuts, breads and cakes can be served. Bands and DJs are usually booked by the couple directly.

The official site gives the range of 28 to 100 m² for the meeting rooms and a maximum of 60 guests for celebrations. Individual room capacities are not published in the pages we reviewed, so ask for the layout and the number of seats per room when you plan.
