Hotel ConventGarten hosts conferences, company parties and weddings in nine event rooms for up to 300 guests, with hotel rooms in the same building. It stands directly on the Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) in Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein, where ships pass in front of the terrace.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms range from the Lotse, a quiet room for 10, to the Panoramadeck on the upper floor, which seats 108 and can be split in two. Between them, the Gildezimmer takes up to 60 and the Schleuse and the Dock up to 20 each. Most rooms have daylight, all are step-free, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. Projectors, screens and sound systems are provided. Restaurant DREI handles the catering, from coffee breaks to dinner, and the events team helps build the program. The hotel also runs Christmas parties with a dinner buffet, a drinks package, a DJ and a dance floor.
Weddings and receptions
Couples often split the day across floors: the ceremony and reception on the Panoramadeck, with roof terraces on two sides, then dinner and dancing in the Ballsaal. The hotel offers an all-in service with waiting staff, cleaning, technical equipment and a single contact person. Tables are laid with white linen, candlesticks, flowers and printed menu cards. A block of rooms for guests can be booked directly with the hotel.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballsaal on the ground floor covers 318 m², with a stage, columns, parquet floors and a vaulted ceiling painted as a starry sky. It takes up to 210 guests, or about 160 with a dance floor. The Panoramadeck (141 m²) seats up to 108. The Kleiner Festsaal (136 m²) holds 80 and has a large projection screen for slideshows and speeches. The Gildezimmer (100 m²) takes 50 to 60. The Schleuse (50 m², canal view) and the Dock (45 m²) each seat 20, and the Lotse (39 m²) seats 10. Several rooms can be combined.
Accommodation
The hotel lists about 80 rooms, from Classic rooms of around 20 m² to Deluxe rooms with balconies, Classic View rooms facing the canal and suites. A sauna and the Bar NOK are open to guests, and an elevator serves the event floors.
Catering
Restaurant DREI opened in the hotel in 2025. Head chef David Holst cooks North German food with Scandinavian influence, and wedding menus focus on Schleswig-Holstein and seasonal produce. Events can be served as plated menus or buffets.
History and setting
The ConventGarten has been part of Rendsburg since 1874, when it began as a restaurant with a ballroom. The canal came later: the first ships passed through it, then named the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal, in 1895. The Rendsburg high bridge and its transporter bridge are close by.
Getting there
Rendsburg station is about 1.5 km away and the A7 motorway about 3 km. Free parking is available at the building. Kiel is the nearest larger city, and Hamburg Airport is the closest international airport.
