The Kulturhotel Kaiserhof hosts conferences, seminars, training days and corporate events for up to 80 people, with 70 bedrooms in the same building. It stands on the Esplanade of Bad Liebenstein, a spa town in the Thuringian Forest, and has received guests since 1712.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms are bright and can be set up in four standard layouts, with others on request. A U shape suits workshops and group discussion, theater rows suit training and seminars, block tables work for lectures and presentations, and a banquet setup serves meetings, conferences and board sessions. Rooms come with a screen, a projector, a flipchart, a moderation case, notepads and pens, and high speed Wi-Fi covers the hotel and the meeting rooms. Day packages combine the room, the equipment and two breaks, and can be extended with a two course lunch, a three course dinner and unlimited soft drinks. Breaks can be timed around the program, and wellness and massage sessions can be added to a seminar stay.
Accommodation
The hotel has 70 rooms in many categories: budget, standard, comfort and deluxe rooms, doubles with balconies, a junior suite, the Kaiserhof Suite, family rooms, family suites and apartments. Conference rates for single and double occupancy include the breakfast buffet. For a two day seminar, the whole group can sleep, meet and eat under one roof.
Catering
The restaurant, Kaiser's, cooks regional Thuringian food with produce from nearby farms, game and forest herbs, and the menu changes with the seasons. Lunch and dinner for seminar groups come from the same kitchen, and the coffee breaks bring fruit, yogurt and pastries in the morning and sheet cake in the afternoon.
History and setting
The building has been an inn since 1712. Over three centuries it has served as a coaching station, as a spa house and as a concert venue, and the hotel recalls that Thomas Mann once slept here. Bad Liebenstein is among the oldest spa towns in Thuringia, and the hotel draws healing water from a spring on its own grounds. Guests can use a Finnish sauna, a fitness room, a Kneipp garden with a treading basin and a barefoot path, and a healing water pavilion. The Kurpark, with its springs and concert shell, is 300 meters away. The Rennsteig, a 169 kilometer ridge trail through the Thuringian Forest, passes 500 meters from the hotel, which makes a team walk easy to plan. Schloss Altenstein, a baroque palace with an English landscape park and a former summer residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen, is 4 kilometers away.
Getting there
The address is Esplanade 9, 36448 Bad Liebenstein. The town sits between Eisenach, Gotha, Erfurt and Suhl. Bad Salzungen, about 10 kilometers away, is the nearest station with regional trains, and Eisenach, about 25 kilometers north, has long distance ICE services. Erfurt-Weimar Airport is a little over an hour by car.
