Classic Hotel Harmonie can host seminars, workshops and company events for up to 150 guests in six modular, column-free rooms totaling 275 square meters. The hotel stands on Ursulaplatz in central Cologne, in the walls of a former Ursuline convent, five minutes on foot from the main station.
Seminars and company events
The event floor is built around flexible space. Mobile, soundproof walls divide it into up to six areas of different sizes, so a plenary session, breakout groups and a coffee break can run side by side. The rooms have daylight, blackout options and air conditioning, and none has a pillar in the way. Seating can be parliamentary, in rows, in a U-shape or left open. The hotel offers full-day and half-day packages, or the hire of a single room, and publishes an event brochure as a PDF.
Rooms and capacities
The reception area measures 34 square meters and takes up to 15 people. It serves as a welcome space for coats, standing tables and a first glass, or as a small group room. Attila and Gerasina are let together as one room of 75 square meters for up to 66 people, with a built-in projector, a screen, floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the terrace. Pinosa and Aetherius form a second room of 75 square meters facing the Ursula church. Maurus (30 square meters, up to 15 people) and Ursula (34 square meters, up to 15) suit small groups. Pantalus, also 30 square meters, opens onto the terrace. The terrace covers 50 square meters and holds up to 40 people. It can be added to an event for barbecues, get-togethers or dinners.
Accommodation
The hotel has 106 bedrooms, from single rooms of 12 square meters to Grand Deluxe doubles of about 29 square meters and triple rooms for two to four people. Participants can sleep and work in the same building. During trade fair periods in Cologne, hotel guests may use the room Ursula for calls and work sessions.
Catering
Breakfast is served in the hotel, and the Bar Concordia is open daily for drinks after a session, with a happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. The event packages can include food and drink, and the team adapts them to the length of the day. The website does not describe a banquet menu, so ask about dinner formats when you enquire.
History and setting
The house began in 1996 with 40 rooms in the former convent, then grew over several building phases that took in a hairdresser's shop and a carriage hall. Today it combines old convent walls with contemporary design, an open lobby with murals, three terraces and a Mediterranean garden.
Getting there
The hotel stands in a quiet side street five minutes on foot from Cologne Hauptbahnhof and the Musical Dome, close to the cathedral. It has its own underground garage.
