Landhaus Beckmann takes seminars, workshops, conferences and team days for groups from a handful of people up to 150 in rows, with 48 bedrooms for overnight programs. The hotel stands in open countryside in Kehrum, part of Kalkar on the Lower Rhine, and has been run by the same family since 1850, now in its fifth generation.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meeting packages that combine room hire, coffee breaks, lunch and standard technology, with options that add dinner and a welcome coffee for full residential days. Groups under 20 are served a set menu instead of a buffet. Equipment can be added per day, including an 80-inch LED screen, a projector, flipcharts, pinboards, microphones and a lectern. The hotel also uses a digital board system that lets remote participants follow and add to the work of the room. Christmas parties and company get-togethers are part of the events offer.
Rooms and capacities
Five bookable spaces cover most group sizes. Hoppenstedt (30 m²) overlooks the inner courtyard and seats 24 in rows. Meyer (70 m²) has fabric-lined walls for good acoustics and takes 60 in rows. Kalflak (85 m²), in the restaurant area, works for workshops and celebrations with 80 in rows, and joined with a second room as Kalflak I und II (150 m²) it reaches 150 in rows or 100 in parliament style. The Klompenkamer (80 m²), the bright breakfast room, takes 60 in rows, close to coffee and tea.
Accommodation
The 48 bedrooms range from budget rooms to Comfort, Superior and Junior Suite categories, plus a room type called Baumtraum. Many look over meadows and open fields. The Libertine Spa, about 100 m², has saunas, a steam bath, infrared heat, a brine mist room, a terrace and a quiet room facing the greenery.
Catering
The restaurant, Beckmanns Tellerrand, works with regional produce and a growing share of plant-based dishes. Conference catering covers coffee breaks, lunch buffets or plated meals and dinner buffets or three-course menus. Breakfast is a buffet with seasonal dishes, and brunch is also offered.
History and setting
The house describes itself as a bike hotel, with rental bikes, route planning and a bike garage. Team programs draw on this setting: a bike tour with a picnic basket, a team challenge outdoors, clog golf at a nearby partner, a live-baked pizza buffet and a guided spirits tasting with a local distillery. Sustainability is part of the approach, with 100 percent green electricity, eight charging points for electric cars and a GreenSign certificate.
Getting there
The address is Römerstraße 1, 47546 Kalkar-Kehrum. The hotel lies in the Lower Rhine countryside, close to the Dutch border, and is easiest to reach by car, with charging points on site. Guests arriving by bike can store their bikes in the hotel garage, and Nijmegen is among the day trips the hotel suggests.
