Seminars and company events
Hotel Drei Birken in Bad Rothenfelde hosts meetings and seminars for up to 50 people and private celebrations for up to 80, with 73 rooms, suites and apartments on site. The four-star Superior hotel stands in the center of the spa town, at the edge of the Teutoburg Forest, and has been run by the Büning family for three generations.
The conference package covers groups of up to 50 and suits a small team meeting as well as a mid-sized event. The room can be set up in a parliamentary layout, a U-shape or a block. A projector, a flip chart and a pinboard with markers, pins and paper are included. The package also covers soft drinks, unlimited water, coffee and tea, fruit salad, nuts, yogurt and pastries during the day, and a two-course meal. An event team stays in touch from the booking to the end of the stay. After the sessions, participants can use the pool and sauna or meet on the garden terrace.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and other family occasions for up to 80 guests, and prepares a tailored offer for each event. Its website does not present a wedding offer, so couples should ask the event team directly.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel does not publish names or sizes for its event rooms. Meetings take up to 50 participants and celebrations up to 80 guests. A multifunction room was added to the restaurant in the early 2000s, and the sun terrace, built between 2007 and 2009, seats 60 outdoors with a view of the garden.
Accommodation
The 73 units range from single rooms of about 18 m² and double rooms of about 25 m² to junior suites of about 35 m², apartments of about 45 m² and a suite of about 60 m². Three holiday apartments are in a neighboring building. The wellness area has a small pool open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., a Finnish sauna with an illuminated salt crystal wall, an infrared cabin and a relaxation room with teas, along with massages and beauty treatments.
Catering
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with regional and seasonal dishes, from fish and meat to salads, baked dishes and cakes. A wine bar and a sun terrace with an awning overlook the garden, and an aperitif can be served there in the evening, which works well for a reception before a seminar dinner.
History and setting
Rudolf Büning senior bought the property on Birkenstraße in 1974 and opened a hotel with seven rooms and a restaurant. His son Rudolf and daughter-in-law Magret took over in 1978, added an indoor pool and new rooms in the early 1980s, rebuilt after a fire in 1984 and kept extending the house. Lisa Büning took over in 2014, new floors with 16 rooms followed in 2018, and the hotel received its four-star Superior rating in 2022. It belongs to the RingHotels group.
Getting there
The address is Birkenstraße 3, 49214 Bad Rothenfelde, in the triangle formed by Osnabrück, Münster and Bielefeld. Free parking is available directly at the hotel, which helps groups arriving by car from the three cities.
