Hotel Rid in Kaufering hosts seminars, workshops and company meetings for up to 80 people and lodges participants in its 80 bedrooms. The hotel is a family-run business hotel on Bahnhofstrasse, in the town of Kaufering in Bavaria, and it combines meeting rooms, a restaurant and overnight stays under one roof.
Seminars and company events
The hotel is built around business guests, and the owners say that company clients and repeat customers make up a large share of their visitors. Three meeting rooms measuring between 35 and 120 square meters can be booked one by one. Flexible partition walls join them into a single conference room for up to 80 people, which suits a plenary session followed by group work in the smaller rooms. Participants can park at the hotel. Wi-Fi, flip chart, pinboard and projection screen are included in the room, a facilitator case is available, and a projector can be rented. The hotel sends its meeting package on request, so rates and what is included are agreed for each group.
Rooms and capacities
The three meeting rooms range from 35 to 120 square meters. Combined, they accommodate up to 80 people. Because each room has its own furniture and layout, the hotel can set up a main room for presentations and keep a second room for breakouts or a working lunch. The official site does not give a seating capacity per room, so ask for the plan matching your format when you send a request.
Accommodation
The hotel counts 80 bedrooms in a quiet location, with free Wi-Fi. Guests mention recently redesigned rooms with walk-in showers. For longer programs, the hotel also offers a sauna, two bowling lanes, a PC corner and a laundry service, which gives a group something to do after the working day. The hotel describes itself as a three-star standard business house.
Catering
The hotel has its own kitchen and restaurant. Meals for groups follow your wishes: buffets or set menus, from finger food to a three-course dinner. Service rates depend on the number of participants and are quoted on request. The restaurant can also serve the group in the evening, which keeps the whole program under one roof.
History and setting
The building dates from 1890. Ottmar Wild bought it in 1905, and the family has run it ever since. It is now in its third generation under Emely Rid. In its early years the house had stables and a barn behind it and operated its own farm, receiving travelers with a simple inn and a bed for the night. Today it is a modern guest house in Kaufering, a town on the Lech river west of Munich.
Getting there
Hotel Rid is at Bahnhofstrasse 24, 86916 Kaufering. Guests describe the hotel as being next to the train station without noticeable rail noise. Parking is provided for meeting participants. The road connection to the Munich area is described by guests as good.
