Seminars and company events
Lenkerhof can take a seminar of up to 120 people in theatre layout, a standing reception of up to 200 guests and a board meeting of 12 around one table, with 83 rooms and suites in the same building. The five-star resort stands in Lenk im Simmental, at the head of the Simmental valley in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
The meeting rooms carry the name DenkTank. Each of them opens directly onto a terrace, so breakout groups can work outside when the weather allows. The modern meeting room looks toward the Wildstrubel massif. The hotel sells half-day and full-day packages with or without an overnight stay, and all-in-one packages for groups of 10 to 30 people. An open bar formula can be added for the evening.
For a strategy session away from the hotel, the Bühlberg mountain restaurant at 1,664 meters has a small room, the Denkerstübli, with a table for eight and a sun terrace outside.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a free ceremony on the hotel grounds or on the Bühlberg meadow above the village, facing the Alps. A church ceremony in Lenk is also possible. Receptions use the same rooms as conferences, up to 200 guests standing in DenkTank Noëlle.
The whole resort can be reserved under the Lenkerhof exklusiv offer: all 83 rooms and suites, the restaurants and the spa for one group, from 4 p.m. on arrival day to 11 a.m. on departure day. This works for a wedding weekend, a company anniversary or a leadership retreat.
Rooms and capacities
DenkTank Noëlle is the largest room, at 177 square meters: 120 in theatre layout, 80 in classroom, 40 in a U-shape, 200 for a reception. It is formed by joining DenkTank Céline, 94 square meters and 60 in theatre, with DenkTank Naomi, 61 square meters and 40 in theatre. Naomi also has a connecting door to DenkTank Adina, 54 square meters, set as a boardroom for 12. All four rooms are rectangular.
Accommodation
The 83 rooms and suites range from single and double rooms to junior suites, suites and family rooms. Breakfast is a buffet of regional products, served from 7:30 to 11 a.m. The 7sources beauty and spa covers 2,000 square meters, with an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a sauna area and a gym. During an exclusive booking it is reserved for the group.
Catering
Meals come from the hotel kitchen. Lenkerhof has its own restaurants, a bar and lounge, a cigar lounge and a wine cellar where tastings can be arranged. GaultMillau has awarded the cuisine 15 points. Coffee breaks and lunches are part of the seminar packages, and a gourmet package is offered to hotel guests.
History and setting
The story of the place starts with a bathhouse more than 350 years ago. In December 2022 the hotel marked 20 years as Lenkerhof and 333 years of Bad Lenk. The interior of the spa refers to that bathing past. Lenkerhof is a member of Relais & Châteaux.
Getting there
The hotel is at Badstrasse 20 in Lenk im Simmental. Lenk has a railway station at the end of the line from Zweisimmen, which connects to Spiez and Bern. Groups arriving by car have 40 underground and 40 outdoor parking spaces. Bern airport is the closest, with Zurich and Geneva further away.
