Landhotel Grashof can host a day meeting of 60 in its largest room, a banquet of up to 120 in the combined Rhön hall, and an overnight group in 37 bedrooms. The country hotel stands in Kalbach, in the Rhön hills near Fulda in the German state of Hesse, and handles seminars, company parties, birthdays and weddings under one roof.
Seminars and company events
The hotel runs five meeting rooms, all with daylight. Rhön III is the main plenary room, with 107 square meters for up to 60 people in a meeting layout. Vogelsberg offers 105 square meters for up to 50 in a U-shape, and Rhön I takes up to 20. Two smaller rooms, Rhön II and Gute Stube, serve as breakout spaces for groups of about 10. Rooms come with a monitor with ClickShare, free Wi-Fi, a flipchart, a pinboard and a facilitation kit. Day packages combine lunch, coffee breaks and drinks during the day, and a full-day version adds a three-course dinner. Meeting groups have free use of the sauna, which helps on two-day programs. The three Rhön rooms can be opened into one hall of about 220 square meters for larger meetings, receptions or exhibition stands.
Weddings and receptions
For private celebrations the hotel offers a wider set of spaces. The restaurant and the Waldarbeiterbar, a rustic bar, each take up to 60 guests. The beer garden and the inner courtyard each hold up to 80, and the courtyard suits a drinks reception. Rhön III seats 80 for a banquet and opens onto the terrace, which takes 50 and can host live cooking. The full Rhön hall seats up to 120. Couples can hold a free ceremony at the hotel's own ceremony spot, or at two outdoor sites nearby, the Eichenrieder Weitblick viewpoint and the Heubacher Steinbruch quarry.
Rooms and capacities
The largest seated event is 120 guests in the Rhön hall. For meetings, Rhön III takes 60 and Vogelsberg 50, with two breakout rooms alongside. In summer the outdoor areas add space, with up to 80 guests in the beer garden and up to 80 in the courtyard.
Accommodation
The hotel has 37 rooms and suites, from singles to family suites, so a seminar group or a wedding party can stay on site. Every stay includes access to the sauna.
Catering
The kitchen cooks regional food for the restaurant, and the same team caters meetings and parties. Event packages cover three- or four-course menus or buffets with a sparkling wine reception and drinks. Party packages run into the evening or past midnight, and breakfast receptions are also offered. The restaurant closes on Mondays, but meeting groups and hotel guests are still served that day.
Getting there
The address is Grashof 4, 36148 Kalbach. Fulda station, on the German high-speed ICE network, is about 25 minutes away, and the hotel runs a free shuttle for meeting groups of four or more. Flieden station is about 10 minutes away by shuttle. The setting is rural, which keeps a group together for the whole program.
