Hotel Dagmar stands on the cathedral square in Ribe, in southwest Denmark, and describes itself as the country's oldest hotel in the country's oldest town. It hosts day meetings, residential meetings and private parties of up to 50 guests, with 54 individually decorated rooms and two restaurants on site.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells two meeting packages. The day meeting includes a breakfast buffet, ice water and fruit in the room, coffee and tea, free soft drink, lunch and afternoon coffee with cake. The one-and-a-half-day meeting adds an overnight stay with a second breakfast buffet and the same refreshments in the room. Extras include an additional night and a two-course Dagmar menu with a drink.
The hotel is clear about its positioning. It offers a historic alternative to white conference rooms and standard concepts, mainly with smaller meeting rooms. Guests can combine the meeting with a guided story hour with a Ribe guide on Viking history, or with an excursion to the Wadden Sea National Park. The hotel is also covered by the Danish state purchasing agreement for hotels and meetings.

Within the main hotel, parties are held in historic surroundings with prepared dinners and matched wines served by the hotel staff, and the price includes the room, serving and table dressing with candles, napkins and decorations.
