Haus Duden in Wesel takes seminars, training days and company meetings for up to 80 people, with five daylight meeting rooms, 65 bedrooms and a restaurant under one roof. The hotel occupies the historic Gut Bossigt estate on the edge of Wesel, a town on the Lower Rhine, and belongs to the Muze Hotels group.
Seminars and company events
The meeting floor suits groups that want to work, eat and sleep in one place. Duden 1 and Duden 2, the two largest rooms, sit on the ground floor of the historic main building and look out onto green grounds. Three meeting pavilions add space for smaller teams or parallel workshops. In good weather the hotel park serves as a break-out area, and walking and cycling trails start at the door, which makes it easy to plan an outdoor session between plenaries. Private celebrations can also be arranged in the same rooms.

It starts at 6 a.m. on weekdays, which helps groups with an early start.
