Hotel Weisser Schwan can host seminars, workshops and private celebrations for groups of up to about 40 people, with 43 comfort rooms on site for overnight guests. The hotel stands on Zum Sulzenberg in Erfurt, in the countryside between the Thuringian capital and Weimar, and belongs to the Bachmann Hotels group.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells a conference package for working groups. It is priced per person and applies from 15 participants. The package covers the room, a flipchart, a pinboard and a projection screen, two conference drinks per person, a morning coffee break with unlimited coffee and tea, a plated lunch with a choice of dishes and an afternoon coffee break with cake. The hotel also prepares individual quotes for groups that want a different format, for example a shorter day or a different meal. The setting is quiet, which suits workshops and training days where a group wants to stay together and avoid the distractions of a city center.
Weddings and receptions
The official site lists birthdays, weddings, confirmations and other family celebrations among the events the hotel hosts. The group describes the Weisser Schwan as the right choice for guests who prefer a calm and dignified setting for a family party. The hotel has two bowling lanes with an adjoining club room, which can be used for informal gatherings in the evening. The official pages do not state a maximum number of wedding guests, so organizers should confirm the size of the party they plan.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel has three event rooms. The site describes two of them. The Clubraum measures about 45 square meters and holds 22 people in block seating or 26 in a U shape. The Seminarraum measures about 65 square meters and holds 26 people in block seating, 36 in parliament seating or 40 in a U shape. The Clubraum does not offer parliament seating. The third event room is not described on the pages we reviewed.
Accommodation
The hotel has 43 comfort rooms. This is enough to house most groups that fit in the seminar rooms, so a working day and the night that follows can take place under one roof. Details on room types and bed configurations are on the hotel's own rooms page.
Catering
Meals for seminar groups are served by the hotel as part of the conference package. The lunch is a plated main course with several dishes to choose from, and the afternoon break includes cake. For celebrations, the kitchen and the club room can be arranged together with the hotel team.
History and setting
The Weisser Schwan is one of six hotels run by the Bachmann family group in Erfurt and across Thuringia. Two of its sister hotels stand in the old town of Erfurt, while the Weisser Schwan and the H+ Hotel sit between Erfurt and Weimar, which makes the area easy to combine with a visit to either city.
Getting there
The address is Zum Sulzenberg 1, 99098 Erfurt. The hotel is outside the center, so most guests arrive by car or taxi. Organizers should ask the hotel about transfers from Erfurt station and about parking for a full group.
