Hotel Anna Amalia suits a small seminar, a training day or a board meeting for up to 30 people, and family celebrations for up to 70 guests when they are combined with an overnight stay. The family-run hotel stands on Geleitstraße in the historic old town of Weimar, about two minutes on foot from the Deutsches Nationaltheater, with 53 bedrooms under the same roof.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has one meeting room, the Tagungsraum, which takes up to 30 participants. It measures about 63 square meters, has daylight and air conditioning, and can be set with open seating or in a U-shape. Coffee breaks and lunch are served in separate rooms, so the meeting room stays set up for work through the day. The size fits a team workshop, a management meeting or a two-day retreat where participants sleep on site and walk to dinner in the old town. Weimar itself, with its Goethe and Schiller houses and Bauhaus sites, gives a group plenty to see between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
For private celebrations, such as a family anniversary, a milestone birthday or a gathering of relatives, the hotel can host up to 70 guests. Celebrations are only accepted together with a room booking, which makes the house a fit for families who want everyone to stay in one place. In summer the terrace can be part of the event. Menus and buffets come from joHann's Hof, the restaurant next door, because the hotel itself serves breakfast only. The site does not present wedding packages.
Rooms and capacities
The Tagungsraum is the working room for up to 30 people, in open seating or a U-shape. Celebrations reach up to 70 guests, with the terrace added in the warm months. The hotel names no other function room on its site, so organisers should confirm which spaces are used for a larger party.
Accommodation
The 53 bedrooms are decorated in a Mediterranean style that recalls Goethe's journey to Italy. Categories run from single and double rooms to rooms with a French lounger, a junior suite, an apartment and a superior suite. One room is set up for guests with allergies, without carpet and with tested bedding. The whole hotel is non-smoking.
Catering
Breakfast is a buffet built mostly on regional products, served from 7:00 to 10:30 and until 11:00 on Sundays and public holidays, on the terrace in summer. A hotel bar pours drinks from Thuringia. Lunches, dinners and buffets for groups are supplied by joHann's Hof next door.
History and setting
The hotel joins three formerly separate buildings on Geleitstraße, reworked into one house over about a year and reopened in August 2002, keeping as much of the historic structure as possible. The main building dates from 1792, after Goethe had settled in Weimar. From 1880 it housed the Hotel Chemnitius, where Franz Kafka and Max Brod stayed together in 1912. The composer Peter Cornelius lived at number 10. The garden of Duchess Anna Amalia stretches from her residence, the Wittumspalais, almost to the hotel.
Getting there
The hotel is in the walkable center of Weimar, close to the theater and the main sights. Parking spaces are available for guests during their stay, from check-in at 15:00 until check-out at 11:00.
