The bonjour Tagungshotel Stuttgart-Gerlingen runs conferences, trainings, workshops and incentives for up to 200 people in theatre style, across 21 rooms in a 1,700 square meter conference center. The hotel stands at Weilimdorfer Straße 70 in Gerlingen, just outside Stuttgart, a few minutes' walk from the town center.
Seminars and company events
The house is built for meetings. All rooms have daylight through large window fronts, and the building runs on a symmetric 1 Gbit/s fiber line with Wi-Fi above 100 Mbit/s throughout. Day packages cover room hire, breaks and meals, and the hotel sells incentive programs to round off a seminar. Breakout space is plentiful: seven small group rooms, Gruppen A to G, take 6 to 15 people each next to the plenary rooms on the first conference level. For larger events, bonjour Events & Catering, part of the same group, supplies events of up to 30,000 guests in the Stuttgart region.
Rooms and capacities
The Galerie, 260 square meters, seats 200 theatre style, 150 classroom style and 75 in a U. On the hotel level, Kandinsky and Warhol combine into a 120 square meter room for 100 in theatre style or 60 classroom style. Otto Dix (81 square meters) seats 70, while Beckmann, Kandinsky and Dali seat 60 each. Matisse and Chagall take 50, Franz Marc and Willi Baumeister 35, Miro, Klee and Picasso 30. The smallest named room, Macke, suits ten people at a board table. Further rooms named Hundertwasser, Hesse, Heide Dahl and Allenbach complete the count. Rooms are spread across the hotel level and two conference levels, so several groups can work in parallel.
Accommodation
The hotel has 120 double rooms with shower, in Komfort and Superior categories, so a group of a hundred can sleep where it meets. Breakfast is a buffet with regional products.
Catering
Two restaurants share the kitchen work. Pepe's serves international dishes and Swabian cooking, and Shanghai serves Far Eastern cuisine. Lunch menus are offered for seminar groups, and coffee breaks are served on the conference levels.
History and setting
The hotel is run by bonjour hotelbetriebs GmbH. It lies on the western edge of Stuttgart, close to Schloss Solitude, the Bärenschlössle, the Gerlinger Kopf and the Gerlinger Heide nature reserve, which give a seminar group places to walk between sessions.
Getting there
The U6 light rail runs from Gerlingen to Stuttgart Airport and the Messe without a change, which suits delegates flying in or attending a trade fair. The hotel is also reached by car, with more than 200 parking spaces, including a video-monitored underground garage with 122 spaces and a car park in front of the building. There are no electric charging points. The town center of Gerlingen is a few minutes away on foot.
