Hotel Zum Schiff in Freiburg im Breisgau can host meetings, banquets, company parties, birthdays and weddings for groups of up to about 50 people in its upper rooms, with a historic vaulted cellar available for evening events. The house combines 19 bedrooms, a restaurant, a beer garden and a bar in the Sankt Georgen district, and it offers its event rooms for exclusive use.
Seminars and company events
The hotel takes requests for meetings and banquets and prepares a personal offer for each one. Presentation technology is arranged on request, so tell the team early what the session needs. The house is small enough that a team day or a board dinner stays within one group, with the restaurant kitchen close by.
Three event rooms are named on the official site. The Blauer Salon on the Promenadendeck is large and bright. The Offiziersmesse is a smaller room suited to a working group or a private dinner. The Unterdeck is the vaulted cellar, with its own bar and modern equipment for music and light.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel receives groups from small gatherings to larger parties, from birthdays to weddings. The rooms can be reserved exclusively. A wedding party can use the Blauer Salon for a seated dinner and move to the cellar for the evening, since the cellar has its own bar and its own sound and lighting. The team builds the offer around the date, the number of guests and the room you choose.
Rooms and capacities
The Blauer Salon seats up to 50 people depending on the layout. The Offiziersmesse holds up to 20 people. The official site gives no capacity figure for the vaulted cellar, so ask for it before planning a standing reception or a concert-style evening. All three rooms can be requested through the event form on the hotel website, which asks for the occasion, the date and the room you prefer.
Accommodation
The hotel has 19 modern, individually furnished bedrooms. That is enough for a small seminar group or the closest family of a wedding party, but not for a large delegation. Breakfast is served on weekdays from 7:30 to 9:30 and on weekends and public holidays from 8:00 to 10:30.
Catering
The restaurant serves warm food continuously from 12:30 on Wednesday to Sunday and offers its full evening menu at lunch as well. A beer garden and a bar complete the house. For private events, menus are agreed with the team according to the occasion and the size of the group.
History and setting
The inn, known as Gasthaus Schiff, takes its name from the water: the hotel's website points to a newspaper article about a log-raft canal that once ran past the building. The cellar still hosts concerts and cultural evenings, which gives the house a lively reputation locally. Freiburg is the gateway to the Black Forest, so a stay can include a walk or a bike ride between sessions.
Getting there
The hotel stands at Basler Landstraße 35-37 in Freiburg-Sankt Georgen. Public transport and parking details are given on the hotel's directions page.
