Romantik Hotel Waldschlösschen hosts conferences, seminars and company events for up to 300 participants in 12 meeting rooms, and weddings, gala dinners and milestone birthdays for up to 320 guests. The hotel stands on Kolonnenweg on the edge of Schleswig, in northern Schleswig-Holstein, and has been run by the Behmer family for more than 50 years. Meeting rooms, two restaurants, a spa with a pool and guest rooms share one site, so a group can stay for several days without moving.
Seminars and company events
Twelve seminar and meeting rooms let an organizer run a plenary and several workshops at the same time, and the largest setting takes up to 300 participants. The equipment list covers screens, video projectors, a laptop, flipcharts, pinboards, a moderation case, a lectern, wired and wireless microphones, laser pointers and partition walls, with Wi-Fi throughout. Technical support can be booked on request.
Meeting packages include meals and breaks, and the team can put together an accompanying program for the evening. Groups can also join one of the hotel's culinary events, such as a wine dinner with a guest winemaker.
Weddings and receptions
The Waldschlösschen hosts weddings, round birthdays, business dinners and company celebrations. A typical evening opens with a sparkling wine reception with a view of the lake, followed by a gala menu of several courses. Hosts can choose a fixed-price package for a clear budget or compose the menu freely, and sample menus, buffet suggestions and the wine list can be downloaded from the hotel website.
Rooms and capacities
The three salons Linde, Buche and Eibe cover about 300 square meters together and can be used separately or combined, with a dance floor and a stage, for up to 320 guests. The two Pulverholzer Ziegelstuben, divided by a mobile wall, take up to 40 when booked together. The Pavillon, with a panoramic view over the Hasselholmer Tal, holds up to 50 and suits a reception or a smaller dinner.
Accommodation
Guest rooms range from economy rooms to themed rooms and suites, so a seminar group can stay where it meets and choose the category that fits each delegate. The GartenSpa has a swimming pool, saunas, a fitness room and a list of treatments for downtime between sessions.
Catering
The kitchen, led by head chef Florian Holtmann, works with regional produce for both restaurants, Olearius and Fasanerie, and for all banquets. Through the year the hotel hosts culinary evenings, including wine dinners and guest chefs during the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival, and roast goose can be pre-ordered in autumn.
History and setting
Hans-Werner and Marion Behmer manage the hotel with their son Sönke. The house belongs to Romantik Hotels, a group of privately run hotels, and is a partner of the Schlei nature park, named after the long Baltic inlet that reaches Schleswig. St. Peter-Ording on the North Sea coast is about 65 kilometers away.
Getting there
Schleswig station lies on the rail line between Hamburg and Flensburg, and the hotel is on the edge of town, so a short taxi or shuttle ride is needed. By car, Schleswig is reached from the A7 motorway. Hamburg Airport is the nearest international airport.
