Hotel City Krone hosts board meetings, workshops and hybrid sessions for up to 16 people in one fully equipped meeting room, with bedrooms and a spa in the same house. The family-run hotel stands in the pedestrian zone of Friedrichshafen's old town, on Schanzstraße, about 100 meters from the shore of Lake Constance.
Seminars and company events
The meeting room, Sailor's Choice, suits small teams who need good technology and a quiet day close to the lake. It has daylight, adjustable air conditioning and automatic shading, and opens directly onto the winter garden, where breaks and small receptions take place. The lobby can also be used for a welcome or a coffee break.
The main tool is an 85-inch touchscreen with a Windows 11 computer that works as a whiteboard, a video conference unit or a projector replacement. Laptops connect by HDMI or wirelessly, and a soundbar with subwoofer, a camera and a microphone are built in, so remote participants can join. Pinboards, flipcharts and moderation materials are provided, along with a dedicated 1 Gbit/s network over Wi-Fi or cable. A fridge with drinks and a bean-to-cup coffee machine stand in the room. Messe Friedrichshafen, about 2 kilometers away, makes the hotel a base for exhibitors who need a room for client meetings during a trade fair.
