Seminars for up to 80 participants, workshops, company celebrations and weddings can be held at Hotel Grenzfall, an inclusion hotel at Ackerstraße 136 in Berlin, right next to the Berlin Wall documentation center on Bernauer Straße. Three daylight meeting rooms open onto a park-like garden of more than 3,000 square meters, and 36 accessible double rooms are on site.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day and multi-day conferences with packages that include the room, standard equipment and catering. Every conference room has large windows on the garden side, step-free access and Wi-Fi throughout the meeting area. The large room has a stage, a projector with a screen behind or in front of the stage, a two-way speaker system and wireless microphones. In summer a garden pavilion in a quiet corner serves as a breakout space for a working group, and the fire ring grill area hosts an evening barbecue for a team.
Weddings and receptions
Birthdays, company anniversaries, weddings and memorial gatherings are on the list of events the hotel hosts. The large festive hall takes 20 to 80 guests, with space for a small dance floor, a stage and a terrace leading into the garden. The Wintergarten restaurant suits 10 to 50 guests, and the whole restaurant can be booked exclusively from 30 people. The fire ring area takes 20 to 50 guests for a reception or a grill party.

History and setting
Since summer 2010 people with and without disabilities have worked together here, and the Hoffnungstaler Stiftung Lobetal has run the hotel since July 1, 2017. It belongs to the Embrace Hotels network. The garden, with a pond and a tea house, received the Berlin Environment Prize in 1997. The name refers in part to the former border strip, which ran along Bernauer Straße just outside.
Getting there
Tram M10 stops in front of the hotel. Nordbahnhof S-Bahn station is about 400 meters away, and Bernauer Straße station on the U8 line is one tram stop or a short walk.
