A conference room for up to 20 people and a hall for 100 to 200 guests make the Hotel Oberschwäbischer Hof in Schwendi, Upper Swabia, a base for small seminars and larger company gatherings. It is a four-star hotel with its own restaurant, bowling lanes and wine cellar.
Seminars and company events
The conference room takes up to 20 people and has its own terrace. The hall takes 100 to 200 people, depending on the layout. Both rooms are described as bright and technically up to date. They have electric blackout curtains and sun blinds, and the air conditioning and the lighting can be adjusted individually, which helps long working days.
Both seminar rooms are equipped with a projector, WiFi, a lectern, a flipchart, pinboards, a facilitation case and a wireless microphone. The hotel also helps with the design of the event itself. Leisure activities such as golf, bowling, wine evenings in the vinotheque or yoga can be organized at any time, so a working day can end with something other than a dinner.
The hotel sells day packages. The half-day package covers a morning coffee break with filled rolls, fruit and yogurt, soft drinks in the room, a two-course lunch with a choice of fish, meat or vegetarian, and an afternoon coffee break with pastries. The full-day package adds a second coffee break and an evening meal, either a three-course dinner or a burger and bowling evening on the new lane. Room hire and technology are included in these package prices. A single room with breakfast can be added for overnight stays.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel presents the hall for celebrations, with decorations and a festive menu put together with the head chef, Julius Reisch. Weddings are not named on the pages we read, so organizers planning a wedding should ask first. Seating plans for celebrations and for meetings are both shown on the site.
Rooms and capacities
The building along the street holds the restaurant, the Lazarus-Stube, the Gartenzimmer, the hall and two bowling lanes. The conference room takes up to 20 and the hall 100 to 200. The hotel complex wraps around a green inner courtyard with a beer garden.
Accommodation
The four-star hotel is built in a clear, restrained architectural style, with quiet and comfortable rooms. The number of rooms is not stated on the pages we read. Guests can book a single room with breakfast alongside a meeting package.
Catering
The kitchen is led by Julius Reisch. The restaurant Esszimmer holds a Michelin star, and from September the Esszimmer and the Lazarus-Stube merge into one restaurant, with a creative menu and an a la carte choice. It opens Wednesday to Saturday from 6 pm to 9 pm and on Saturdays from noon to 2 pm. Menus for groups are agreed individually with the chef, with seasonal dishes added through the year. Seasonal events include a New Year's Eve menu and a golf package that includes a meal in the starred restaurant.
History and setting
The hotel is on Hauptstraße 9 to 15 in Schwendi, in the middle of Upper Swabia, a region the hotel describes as rich in nature and excursions.
