Hotel Im Engel hosts conferences, training days and company meetings for 1 to 150 people in six air-conditioned meeting rooms, with 43 bedrooms on site. It stands in the historic old town of Warendorf, in the Münsterland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and has been owned by the Leve family since 1692.
Seminars and company events
The six meeting rooms have modern presentation equipment and air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi covers the whole hotel. The hotel builds each meeting offer on request, combining rooms, meals and overnight stays to fit the program. The range of rooms lets a company hold a plenary session and breakouts under one roof, or a small board meeting in a quieter room. The restaurant and the wine boutique give groups a setting for dinner at the end of the day, and the hotel runs its own calendar of themed dinners, wine evenings, beer tastings and concerts that a visiting team can join.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives a range from one person to 150 across six meeting rooms. It does not publish room names or seating plans, so organisers should ask the hotel for the layout options that match their group, whether theatre style for a plenary or tables for workshops.
Accommodation
The hotel has 43 rooms and suites: 34 double or multi-bed rooms, five singles, three junior suites and one suite, in categories from Single Standard to the Engel Suite and the Turm Suite. Rooms are rated at three- and four-star comfort. Guests have free use of a small sauna and a whirlpool. Bicycles and e-bikes can be stored and charged on site, which suits the cycle routes of the Münsterland.
Catering
The restaurant cooks regional food, from Westphalian classics to gourmet dishes, and the house keeps a wine list and its own wine boutique. A breakfast buffet is served every day. Conference meals come from the hotel kitchen, so lunches, coffee breaks and a closing dinner can all stay in house.
History and setting
Im Engel was founded in 1545, and the Leve family has owned it since 1692; in 2017 the family marked 325 years of ownership. The hotel describes itself as the oldest restaurant in Warendorf and the oldest hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia. The old town around it keeps gabled houses and narrow streets, and Warendorf is known as a horse town, home to the state stud of North Rhine-Westphalia and the German equestrian federation.
Getting there
The hotel is at Brünebrede 33-37 in the old town. Cars enter at Ostwall 8, with free parking in the inner courtyard and nearby. Münster is about 30 km to the west. Warendorf has a regional rail station with trains to Münster, and Münster Osnabrück Airport is the nearest airport.
