Ferienhotel Stockhausen in Schmallenberg offers six meeting rooms of 40 to 110 square meters, 68 bedrooms and a full leisure area in the Sauerland hills. It suits residential seminars, workshops and training courses for groups of 12 to about 90 people, in a family-run hotel in the Sellinghausen district, not far from Winterberg.
Seminars and company events
The hotel markets itself for multi-day meetings and incentives. Six rooms with daylight allow a plenary session and small working groups under the same roof. Every room has a multimedia center with a PC and a wireless presentation keyboard, a DVD player and a sound system, fast fiber internet, free Wi-Fi and HD video conferencing, and each room has its own email address. Several rooms open directly onto terraces, so breakout sessions can move outside. Besides classic meetings, the hotel runs work-life-balance and stress-prevention seminars with a training academy partner, including a three-day anti-stress course for six to ten participants.
Rooms and capacities
Seminar room 1 is on the ground floor with a large terrace and takes 20 to 30 people: 26 in parliamentary or U-shape, 30 in theater style. Seminar room 2 sits next to the restaurant and takes 35 to 90 people: 50 parliamentary, 35 block, 45 U-shape, 80 U-shape with the outside area, 90 theater. Seminar room 3 is on the third floor, quiet and separate, for 12 to 25 people: 24 parliamentary, 12 block, 22 U-shape, 16 theater. Rooms 4, 5 and 6 are on the ground floor with a large terrace and can be used separately or together. Room 4 takes 26 to 80 people and room 5 up to 20. The site does not give the capacity of room 6. All rooms can be darkened.
Accommodation
The hotel has 68 rooms, from single and double rooms to suites, so participants sleep in the same building as the meeting rooms. It also offers arrangements for longer stays. Families are a core guest group, which matters if a seminar mixes work and leisure.
Catering
The hotel restaurant is next to seminar room 2, which saves time between sessions and meals. Groups can finish the day with a shared dinner, followed by the hotel bar. After a guided hike, the hotel organizes barbecue evenings at the forest hut with a campfire and a torch procession. Ask the hotel which meeting packages and menus it offers for your group size.
History and setting
The house is run by the Stockhausen family, now in its second generation. It stands in Sellinghausen, in the Schmallenberg Sauerland, a region known as the land of a thousand mountains. The leisure offer is wide: an outdoor pool, a sunbathing lawn in the hotel park, an indoor adventure pool with a sauna area, a whirlpool, massage, a water slide, a pool bar and a bowling alley. In winter the hotel has its own ski slope with snow cannons, and a riding stable, golf and marked hiking trails are close.
Getting there
The address is Zum Hälleken 9, 57392 Schmallenberg. The hotel has a car park, and guests can leave the car there for the whole stay. The official site gives no train or airport details, so plan the journey by car or check the connection to Schmallenberg before booking.
