Hotel-Restaurant Koch-Schilt hosts company events, Christmas parties, family celebrations and smaller weddings for groups of 20 up to about 150 guests. The house stands in Irrel, a village in the Südeifel in Rhineland-Palatinate close to the Luxembourg border, and brings four event rooms, a restaurant and 45 bedrooms together under one roof.
Seminars and company events
Company outings, firm celebrations and Christmas parties are regular bookings here. For a working day, the Gute Stube takes 28 people around a block table, or 16 in a U-shape or parliament layout, which suits a board meeting or a small training session. Larger teams use the Großer Festsaal, where the venue lists 64 places at a block table, 58 in a U-shape and 50 in parliament style. The Zunftstube and the Bauernstube each seat 20 at a block table and work for a working lunch or a breakout group. The site does not list technical equipment, so projector, screen and sound are points to confirm in your request.
Weddings and receptions
Civil weddings, smaller wedding parties, golden weddings, anniversaries, christenings, communions and confirmations are all on the list of family occasions. A banquet in the Großer Festsaal seats 120 guests, and the Gute Stube takes 40 at banquet tables, a good size for a wedding lunch with close family. In summer, the beer garden adds an outdoor area for drinks.
Rooms and capacities
The Großer Festsaal covers 220 square meters and is the main room for parties and larger meetings, with up to 150 guests. The Gute Stube measures 45 square meters, the Bauernstube 38 and the Zunftstube 26. With four rooms of different sizes, a group can split between a plenary session and smaller tables, or hold a dinner in one room and drinks in another.
Accommodation
The hotel has 45 rooms in four categories: Standard, Comfort, Exclusive, and ECO rooms in a separate guesthouse. A family room, a pilgrim room and themed apartments add options for longer stays, and holiday apartments are available at the Gestüt Hubertus, the family's stud farm, where Friesian horses are bred. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., and Wi-Fi is free.
Catering
Meals come from the house kitchen, which works with fresh ingredients under the motto that home-made tastes better. The restaurant, the Gaststube and the beer garden serve guests from a food menu, a wine list and a drinks list. The site does not describe set event menus, so the menu for a group is agreed with the hotel.
History and setting
The business began in 1919, when Nikolaus and Anna Schilt opened a tavern that soon also worked as an inn and butcher's shop. Hedwig Schilt married Matthias Koch in 1939, which explains the double name. A new facade followed in 1965, and new rooms and bathrooms were added in the early 1990s. Manuel Kervyn de Lettenhove, the fourth generation, has run the house since 2003. Around Irrel lie the Irrel waterfalls, the Teufelsschlucht gorge and, across the border, the Mullerthal Trail and the town of Echternach, which gives a team an afternoon outing.
Getting there
The hotel is at Prümzurlayer Straße 1 in Irrel and has a good motorway connection. Bitburg, Trier and the Moselle valley are within driving distance, and Luxembourg is close by.
