Hotel Kloster Haydau takes conferences, seminars, annual general meetings and board meetings for 10 to 150 people, in 26 meeting and event rooms spread across a former monastery complex. The hotel stands in Morschen, a village in the Fulda valley in northern Hesse, and combines the monastery buildings with a hotel, a former post station and a boardinghouse on the same site.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms are distributed over several buildings, so a large group can hold its plenary in one and spread its workshops through the others. Seven rooms are in the wings of the former monastery, seven in the Herrenhaus, the manor house, and eleven in the Marstall and the Klosterscheune, the former stables and monastery barn, where old walls meet new architecture. The Orangerie completes the set. The hotel is a member of TOP 250 Germany, a selection of German conference hotels, and a dedicated events team handles requests. Participants can travel with a Deutsche Bahn event ticket from any station in Germany.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and family celebrations as well as company events. The monastery buildings, the Orangerie and the grounds give couples several settings on one site, and guests can stay overnight in the hotel, the Poststation or the Boardinghouse.
Rooms and capacities
The largest format the hotel names is an annual general meeting for up to 150 people, and the smallest rooms suit a board meeting of 10. Rooms are grouped by building: Kloster, Herrenhaus, Marstall, Klosterscheune and Orangerie. Individual capacities by layout are not published online, so the events team allocates rooms according to the size and layout of each event.
Accommodation
Three types of lodging share the site. The hotel itself offers Comfort and Superior rooms, Junior Suites and Grand Suites. The Poststation has Standard, Landhaus and Deluxe rooms, apartments and a Bett+Bike unit for cyclists. The Boardinghouse adds studios, Classic units and lofts, useful for longer training courses. A spa with a sauna area and a fitness room are open to guests.
Catering
Two restaurants serve the site: the hotel restaurant, whose kitchen draws on the monastery tradition, and the Restaurant Poststation. A bar takes over in the evening. Meeting breaks, lunches and dinners are handled in-house.
History and setting
Haydau is a former monastery, and the calm of the place is part of its appeal for working groups. The surroundings lend themselves to team activities: canoe tours and stand-up paddling on the Fulda river, cycling and mountain biking, tennis in Neumorschen, guided tours of historic monasteries and a brewery museum in Malsfeld. On site, a monastery escape game gives teams a group exercise without leaving the grounds.
Getting there
The hotel is at In der Haydau 2, 34326 Morschen, in the Schwalm-Eder district south of Kassel. Groups can arrive by car or by rail, using the Deutsche Bahn event ticket, and the events team can advise on the last leg to the hotel.
