Hotel Hennies hosts conferences, team days and weddings from small groups up to 320 guests, with 185 bedrooms on the same grounds. The hotel stands in Isernhagen, on the northeastern edge of Hannover, about 10 minutes from the Hannover trade fair grounds.
Seminars and company events
The main house holds 10 meeting rooms, and the ground-floor rooms can be reached by car. Movable walls change their size, and rooms can be bright with daylight or fully darkened. Standard equipment includes a lectern, flip charts, pinboards, high-resolution projectors, an electric ceiling screen, a sound system with wireless microphones and headsets, programmable network cabling and free Wi-Fi. The rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned. Packages combine breaks, lunch, breakfast, half or full board and activities, from a simple day rate to a fully tailored program. For teams, the large grounds suit outdoor games and archery, and the hotel also hosts company Christmas parties and team events.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a non-religious ceremony on the landscaped lawns, with the reception on the terrace straight afterward. Every event building has its own outdoor area. The wedding package covers decoration, cake and buffet, and the hotel works with partner suppliers for music and flowers. A room block for guests and a shared breakfast the next morning can be included. Viewings can be booked in advance, and an online wedding planner helps with preparation.
Rooms and capacities
In the main house, five ground-floor rooms open into one hall for up to 200 guests, or stay separate for smaller parties. The Tenne, a half-timbered barn built in 2007 in the Lower Saxon style, seats up to 240 under beamed ceilings with two fireplaces, and the lawn behind it is used for outdoor ceremonies. The Landhaus is a banquet hall with a chandelier, dimmable lighting and floor-to-ceiling windows. The Wintergarten, with a bar, a fireplace and a large terrace, takes up to 100. Together the buildings host up to 320 guests.
