Hotel-Restaurant Clemens-August in Ascheberg-Davensberg hosts seminars and conferences for ten to more than 350 people, company celebrations and weddings, with eleven meeting rooms and 86 bedrooms on site. The hotel stands in the center of Davensberg, a village of Ascheberg in the Münsterland, and has been run by the same family since 1907.
Seminars and company events
The hotel lists eleven meeting rooms. All take daylight and can be darkened, have air conditioning and ergonomic chairs, and sound, lighting and internet are controlled from a tablet. Several rooms sit side by side or can be combined, which helps when a plenary session splits into parallel workshops. A digital guest guidance system covers every room. The hotel is listed among the top 250 conference hotels in the book Die besten Tagungshotels in Deutschland. For team events it runs its own program: skittles, a grill and shooting evening, the traditional Vogelschießen and rides on the Clemens-August-Express. Excursions to Burg Vischering, Schloss Nordkirchen, Burg Lüdinghausen or the city of Münster can be added to the agenda.

Celebrations for up to 300 guests are possible. For weddings, the hotel offers a meadow for outdoor ceremonies and three wedding packages named Romance, Dream and Glamorous. It also hosts silver weddings, family parties and company celebrations.

History and setting
The house began as a farm owned by Clemens Frenster, which received a license to serve drinks in 1907. In 1946 Anni and August Stattmann took over, and the name Clemens August dates from that time. The conference business started in 1983 with a guesthouse holding two meeting rooms. The fourth generation, which joined in 1999 and 2001, expanded the hotel to 86 rooms and built the large hall.
Getting there
Davensberg station, on the Eurobahn line between Dortmund and Münster, is about a 10-minute walk away, and the hotel can arrange a transfer. By car, the A1 (exit Ascheberg), the A43, the A2 and the B58 serve the area. Parking at the hotel is free.
