Conferences, business meetings and weddings for up to 160 guests can be held at the Collegium Leoninum, a four-star superior hotel with 65 bedrooms and eight event rooms in the center of Bonn. The hotel occupies a former college with a brick Gothic facade, and its old church, now an event hall, is the largest space in the house.
Seminars and company events
The event rooms total about 861 square meters and come in a range of sizes, so a board meeting and a plenary session can run side by side. The hotel sells all-inclusive meeting packages handled by one team, with modern conference technology and breaks served through the day. The Kapitelsaal, with its high windows and columns, is shown set in a U-shape, and Hofgarten III is one of the working rooms. Between sessions, delegates can use the pool, sauna and fitness area. The hotel is certified under the German Reisen für Alle accessibility scheme. Leo's Bistro serves a business lunch from Monday to Saturday. The house also hosts talks, readings and concerts, and owns a Fazioli grand piano and a Klais organ, which companies can build into an evening program.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel is an official civil wedding venue of the Bonn registry office, so couples can marry on site. The neo-Gothic Alte Kirche takes church or celebrant-led ceremonies for up to 160 guests. Drinks can follow on the sun terrace before dinner in the Refektorium, which seats up to 120. Wedding packages are sold at a fixed rate with a clear list of services and include three- or four-course menus or buffets, a sparkling wine or champagne reception, a drinks package and service late into the night, with finger food, long drinks and a midnight snack depending on the package. For weddings of more than 60 guests the couple's room is included, and guests get special room rates. One event team handles planning, and viewings can be arranged.
Rooms and capacities
The Alte Kirche, the former church of the college, takes up to 160 people. The Refektorium takes up to 120. The Kapitelsaal and Hofgarten III are among the other rooms. Capacities for each layout are listed in the hotel's room overview.
Accommodation
The 65 bedrooms look onto the courtyard or the park. Standard rooms measure at least 25 square meters, some with a terrace or balcony. Standard Garden rooms on the ground floor open directly onto the park. Superior Deluxe rooms of about 60 square meters have a kitchen and separate living and sleeping areas. All rooms have wifi and a work desk.
Catering
Leo's Bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with seasonal cooking and regional wines, and has a large terrace in a quiet inner-city spot. Meeting breaks, banquets and wedding menus are handled by the hotel.
History and setting
The building was a college before its conversion into a conference hotel. Its brick Gothic front and the neo-Gothic church remain, while the bedrooms, the spa area and the meeting technology are modern.
Getting there
The hotel is on Noeggerathstraße, a few minutes on foot from Bonn Hauptbahnhof and away from the main shopping streets. There is no garage on site, but paid parking is available nearby. Cologne Bonn Airport is the closest airport.
