Central-Hotel Kaiserhof in Hannover offers seven meeting and event rooms for conferences, seminars, receptions and weddings of up to 150 guests, 100 meters from the main railway station. The four-star hotel stands opposite the Ernst-August monument at Ernst-August-Platz 4.
Seminars and company events
The seven rooms can be booked one by one or combined. They have daylight, ceilings above 3 meters and, in several salons, a view of the historic station building. The day packages include the room, a projector, a screen, a pinboard, a flipchart, a facilitator case and fast wireless internet, and they are built around coffee breaks and lunch, either a menu or a buffet. Cakes for the breaks come from the hotel's own pastry workshop, and the menus change with the seasons. The events team deals with requests through an online form, and an event brochure can be downloaded from the site.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries, product presentations and family celebrations take place in the same rooms, with up to 150 guests when the salons are combined. Catering ranges from a flying buffet with canapés to a festive four-course menu. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are offered, and guests can go straight to a room or suite after the party. Klein Wien is presented for family celebrations, baptisms, weddings and business dinners, with a view of the station.
Rooms and capacities
Salon 2 seats 25 and holds 30 standing. Salon 3 takes up to 12 people. Salon 4 measures 40 square meters and takes up to 35, with daylight from two directions. Combined, Salons 3 and 4 cover 61 square meters for up to 40 people. Salon 1 works as a chambre séparée with a bar for up to five people. Joined with Salons 2, 3 and 4 it forms the largest room, Salon 1-4, at 115 square meters, with an integrated screen, air conditioning, a sound system and a built-in bar. Klein Wien, the Kirschzimmer with its cherry-wood paneling and stone floor, and Salon 5 complete the list.
Accommodation
The hotel offers a Kaiserhof Suite, a Junior Suite, Superior and Standard double rooms and Standard single rooms. The site does not give the total number of rooms, so ask for it when you plan a residential event. Dedicated trade fair rooms are also listed. A second family-run house, Hotel Haase in Laatzen-Grasdorf, joined the owners in early 2026 and stands about 2 kilometers from the exhibition grounds.
Catering
Café Centrale serves breakfast from 6:30, and the Brunnenhof restaurant runs a lunch table. There is also Bar Centrale, and the hotel mentions a seasonal kitchen with regional suppliers for bakery, dairy, meat and fish. The own pastry workshop supplies cakes and an afternoon tea.
History and setting
The house presents itself as a hotel of tradition since 1889. The Rüter family has run it since 1968, now in its third generation. It sits opposite the monument to King Ernst August, close to the Schauspielhaus and the opera house, and the main shopping streets of the city center are within walking distance.
Getting there
The hotel is 100 meters from Hannover main station, so participants arriving by ICE can walk. The trade fair grounds are about 15 minutes away by S-Bahn and the airport about 18 minutes. The hotel has no car park of its own and works with the garages nearby.
