Seminars and company events
Conferences of up to 190 people, board meetings, press conferences and hybrid events can be organized at Kastens Hotel Luisenhof, a city hotel on Luisenstrasse in the center of Hannover. With 149 bedrooms in 12 categories, the hotel can house a full delegation, and every event room has daylight.
The hotel works with AVI Studio in Hannover on hybrid formats, so remote participants can follow a session by live stream. A video conference system with a Polycom Studio soundbar can be reserved and works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting and similar platforms. Wi-Fi is free for meeting guests. Organizers get access to their room 30 minutes before and after the event, and equipment can be delivered up to two days ahead. An online meeting planner on the hotel site helps prepare a request, and a dedicated banquet team handles the details.
Weddings and receptions
The banquet department hosts receptions after a civil wedding, wedding parties, birthdays, anniversaries, award ceremonies and Christmas parties. The Georgssaal has a parquet floor and a dance floor and seats 140 for a banquet. The vaulted Weinkeller, the hotel's wine cellar, can be booked on its own for smaller private dinners, wine tastings and wine training sessions.
Rooms and capacities
The Georgssaal with its foyer is the largest room: 180 square meters, 3.5 meters high, 12 by 15 meters. It takes 190 people theatre-style or for a standing reception, 140 for a banquet, 96 in a parliamentary layout, 35 in a U-shape and 30 around a block table. It has daylight, blackout, air conditioning, soundproof windows that open, a lectern and step-free access.
The Gobelinsaal with foyer holds up to 120 people and can be arranged freely. Ten club rooms cover smaller formats: Clubraum 3 takes up to 24, Clubraum 5 up to 20, Clubraum 6 up to 12, Clubraum 2 up to 10, Clubraum 4 and Clubraum 7 up to 6, and Clubraum 1 up to 4. Clubraum 8 covers 52 square meters.
Accommodation
The 149 bedrooms are spread over 12 categories, which lets an organizer place speakers and senior guests in larger rooms while the rest of the group stays in standard rooms, all in the same building as the meeting.
Catering
MARY's, the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, sits on site, and the banquet team provides the food and service for meetings and celebrations. Menus are agreed with the banquet department.
History and setting
The Luisenhof presents itself as a home in Hannover since 1856, which makes it one of the long-established hotels of the city. It stands at Luisenstrasse 1-3 in the commercial center, within walking distance of the main shopping streets and the opera.
Getting there
The hotel is in the city center, close to Hannover Hauptbahnhof, which has direct ICE trains to Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. Hannover Airport is linked to the main station by the S-Bahn. Trade fair visitors reach the Messe grounds from the center by tram or S-Bahn.
