Hotel Kaiseralm hosts seminars, conferences and training days for up to 120 people, as well as company parties, family celebrations and weddings, with 95 rooms and suites on site. The four-star hotel stands on the edge of the forest in Bischofsgrün, a village in the Fichtelgebirge mountains of Upper Franconia, between the Ochsenkopf and the Schneeberg. A group can meet, dine and stay under one roof, then use the indoor pool after the last session.
Seminars and company events
Five meeting rooms take groups from 10 to 120 people. The two largest, Franz and Josef, sit side by side on the first floor and open into a single room, Franz-Josef, of 242 square meters for plenary sessions of up to 120. On the ground floor, Ludwig and St. Veit, of 123 and 96 square meters, work as second plenary rooms or as breakouts, and Mathäus is a small room of 54 square meters for workshops. Ceilings are 3.5 to 4 meters high throughout.
The hotel sells two meeting packages, one with an overnight stay and one for day delegates, each bundling the main services so that the group can focus on its agenda. Meeting technology is provided by the hotel, and Wi-Fi is free from arrival. For the evening, the team can suggest outings in the Fichtelgebirge, winter sports in season and, each year, a transfer to the Bayreuth Festival.
Weddings and receptions
The Kaiseralm takes celebrations from small birthday gatherings to anniversaries, company Christmas parties and weddings. The team proposes menus and a program to suit the occasion, and guests can stay overnight or go home after the meal. Several event rooms are available, and a virtual tour on the hotel website shows them before a first visit.
Rooms and capacities
Franz measures 158 square meters and takes up to 74 people, Josef 82 square meters and up to 32. Combined as Franz-Josef they hold 120. Ludwig takes up to 50 and lies next to the restaurant, so it also works for a seated dinner. St. Veit takes up to 33 and is next to reception. Mathäus takes up to 20.
Accommodation
The 95 rooms and suites face mostly south, with views over Bischofsgrün toward the Ochsenkopf. Double rooms can be booked for single use, which suits seminar groups, and family rooms connect a double and a single room through an inner door. Suites and junior suites of 46 to 60 square meters carry the names of Franconian cities, from Würzburg to Coburg. The wellness area has an indoor pool of 6 by 15 meters, a Finnish sauna, an infrared cabin and a terrace on the hotel garden, and massages and physiotherapy are available by appointment.
Catering
Meals are prepared in-house. The hotel runs the Frankenkrone restaurant with its terrace, a Stüberl open from midday and a Bierstube for informal evenings, and it adapts menus to each celebration or meeting program.
History and setting
The Schreiner family has run the hotel since 1992 and has owned it since 2006. Stephanie Schreiner became managing director in 2022. Bischofsgrün sits in a winter sports area at the foot of the Ochsenkopf, one of the highest summits of the Fichtelgebirge.
Getting there
The nearest main-line station is Bayreuth, about 25 kilometers away, with buses to the Bischofsgrün Höhenklinik stop, a short walk from the hotel. By car, leave the A9 at Bad Berneck and follow the B303 for about 15 kilometers, or come from the A93 via the B303. Parking at the hotel is free, with underground spaces on request and a charging point for electric cars.
