Das Goldene Lamm hosts seminars, training days, company dinners and weddings for up to 180 guests, with three linkable salons, three smaller rooms in the restaurant and 45 bedrooms in the same house. The hotel and restaurant stands on Kocherstraße in Unterkochen, a quiet district of Aalen in the east of Baden-Württemberg.
Seminars and company events
The conference wing is built around three salons with daylight and a view of an inner courtyard, and all of them can be blacked out for projection. A gallery serves as a reception area between sessions. The room hire includes the core equipment: an electric projection screen, a projector, a moderator case, a wireless microphone, conference chairs, oak-veneer tables and an acoustic ceiling. Tables can be set in rows, block, U, T or E shape, oval or banquet style, and a stage or a dance floor can be added. For breaks, exercise mats and Nordic walking poles can be rented, and the Panoramaweg and the trails to the source of the Kocher start a few minutes from the door.
Weddings and receptions
The house sells wedding packages from 50 up to 180 guests, with a dance floor and the option to celebrate until 3 a.m. The team can recommend a DJ and arrange hair and make-up advice on request. Birthdays and family celebrations use the same rooms.

History and setting
The site has a history of about 450 years. In the 17th century a barn with a skittle alley and a brewery stood here, and beer was brewed until 1885. Alexander Asbrock has led the business since 2000, about a century after his great-grandmother took over the inn and its butcher's shop. The first guest rooms opened in 1965, the hotel grew in the 1980s and 1990, and the restaurant was renovated in 2015.
