Hotel Deimann hosts conferences and seminars for up to 250 people and weddings and celebrations for up to 160 guests, with bedrooms and a large spa on the same estate. The five-star superior hotel stands in Winkhausen, part of Schmallenberg in the Sauerland hills of North Rhine-Westphalia, and has been run by the Deimann family for more than a century.
Seminars and company events
Meetings take place in the Sorpe wing, reached step-free from the hotel lobby. Movable partition walls divide the space into a large conference room, two mid-sized meeting rooms and a lounge with a bar, and the full area seats up to 250 people in rows. The rooms are bright and quiet. A garage next to the wing allows deliveries of objects up to 200 cm wide and 220 cm high, useful for exhibits or stage elements.
Many companies combine the working day with the spa, which covers more than 5,000 m² with swimming pools, saunas, treatments, an adults-only area and yoga. The hotel also arranges golf and tournaments, and its Café-Restaurant Sonnenhöhe serves as the golf course café.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, christenings and anniversaries, the Café-Restaurant Sonnenhöhe stands alone on a plateau with partly covered terraces and wide views, and takes up to 160 guests. The Gutshof courtyard hosts 24 to 50 guests under open sky, with the equipment supplied by the hotel. Sparkling wine receptions and a garden bar can be set up outdoors, and the garden has a lawn and lounge terraces. The hotel advises booking early to secure the preferred space.
Rooms and capacities
Other spaces suit smaller groups. The Knollenhütte, a rustic hut with a beer garden and mountain views in summer, takes 70 people and works well for company outings and team evenings. The Valentinssaal, a historic hall with chandeliers at the sister Hotel Störmann, seats 60 for banquets. For plenary sessions and training days, the Sorpe wing remains the main choice.
Accommodation
Bedrooms and suites are spread over several houses on the estate, among them the Haupthaus by the pond, the Sorpehaus in the garden, the Alte Sägerei, the Gutshof and the Stammhaus. Categories run from single and double rooms to junior suites, family suites, apartments and a penthouse suite, which allows a mix of standard rooms for delegates and suites for speakers. The site does not publish the total number of rooms.
Catering
The estate runs several restaurants: the Hofstube Deimann, which has held a Michelin star for eight consecutive years, the hotel bar and bar restaurant, the Knollenhütte, a wine cellar and the Sonnenhöhe. For events the kitchen prepares classic buffets or gourmet dinners, with drinks from soft drinks to fine wines.
