Hotel Asgard hosts conferences, training days, company parties and weddings, with the Freya ballroom for up to 180 guests, a separate event and conference center and 12 meeting rooms covering about 1,500 m² in all. The business hotel has 90 bedrooms and stands in Gersthofen, just north of Augsburg in Bavarian Swabia.
Seminars and company events
The Asgard is built around meetings. The main house holds five rooms named after Norse figures: Midgard for small boardroom meetings of about ten, Njörd and Loki for 30 to 42 theatre style, Skadi for 63, and Freya, the 250 m² ballroom, for up to 180 in rows. The Event and Conference Center next to it has its own entrance, a movable partition system and dimmable LED lighting that can change color. Its rooms of 80, 150 and 230 m² open into a large event area of 550 m² with an 80 m² lounge, and the whole floor reaches 750 m² plus the lounge, suited to product presentations, sales conferences and gala evenings.
The hotel publishes meeting packages, a technical equipment list and a request form for meetings. Free parking with room for larger vehicles helps when participants drive in from across the region.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a second line of business. The restaurant and its Wintergarten take up to 60 guests and can be booked exclusively, with a glass front that opens in summer and a terrace for the drinks reception. Larger weddings use Freya, with chandeliers, a dance floor and an integrated projector and screen, for up to 180 guests. Extras include a photo box, a fog machine for the first dance, cold spark effects and custom lighting. Rooms are available for the couple and their guests.
Rooms and capacities
Njörd, 55 m², seats 30 in rows and 16 in a U. Loki, 60 m², seats 42 in rows. Skadi, 80 m², seats 63 in rows and 32 in parliament layout. Freya, 250 m², takes up to 180 guests. In the conference center, the small room of 80 m² mirrors Skadi, the middle room of 150 m² seats about 126 in rows, and the large room of 230 m² and the combined event area take larger groups on request.
Accommodation
The hotel has 90 bedrooms, enough to house a multi-day conference or most wedding guests on site.
Catering
The kitchen of the Restaurant and Bar cooks regional Swabian food and caters every event in house. Wedding and party menus can be buffets, plated menus or a mix of both, with vegetarian and vegan options and drinks concepts built for each event.
History and setting
The Asgard takes its theme from Norse mythology, which gives the rooms their names, from Midgard to Freya. Gersthofen is a town on the northern edge of Augsburg, with industry and offices close by, which explains the hotel's focus on business events.
Getting there
Gersthofen lies close to the A8 motorway between Munich and Stuttgart, and Augsburg main station is a short drive away. Munich Airport is reached by road in about an hour.
