Seminars and company events
Hotel Flandrischer Hof in Cologne hosts meetings, workshops and training days for up to 50 people in three daylight rooms, with 189 bedrooms in the same building. The hotel stands on Flandrische Straße in the Belgian Quarter, a few minutes on foot from the Schildergasse shopping street and the cathedral.
The three rooms, Brügge, Brüssel and Antwerpen, are named after Flemish cities and share technology that adapts to most formats. Brüssel and Antwerpen each seat 50 in rows, which makes them the choice for presentations and training sessions. Brügge, the smallest, has a media wall: a high-resolution TV screen with HDMI, VGA and USB connections and a built-in power socket for laptops, well suited to a board meeting of 12. The hotel offers three meeting packages with light meals for participants, and requests go through a dedicated form.
Meeting guests can park in the hotel's underground garage, which connects directly with the meeting rooms. Trainers bringing equipment and teams arriving by car avoid the street entirely. Trade fair visitors are among the hotel's regular guests, and the Belgian Quarter, with its cafés, bars and restaurants, is within walking distance for a team dinner after the last session.
Rooms and capacities
Antwerpen is the largest room at 90 m², with 50 in rows, 35 in a parliamentary layout, 30 in a U-shape and 25 at a block table. Brüssel measures 70 m² and takes 50 in rows and 30 in a block, U-shape or parliamentary layout. Brügge measures 38 m² and takes 16 in rows and 12 in a U-shape or parliamentary layout. All three rooms have daylight, so a full day of work does not take place under artificial light. With three rooms on the same site, a plenary session in Antwerpen or Brüssel can run alongside a smaller working group in Brügge.
Accommodation
The 189 rooms come in four categories, Classic, Business, Superior and Suite, so a training group, its trainers and its speakers can all stay on site. A breakfast buffet is served each morning. The hotel holds the DEHOGA Umweltcheck in gold, an environmental label awarded by the German hotel and restaurant association, which helps companies that report on the footprint of their events.
Catering
Meeting packages include light meals during the day and drinks for participants. Overnight guests start with the breakfast buffet. For an evening meal, the streets around the hotel offer a wide choice of restaurants and bars.
