Seminars and company events
The Linther Hof hosts seminars, training days, company parties and family celebrations for up to 120 people theatre style or 80 at banquet tables, with 36 rooms on site. The 4-star hotel and restaurant stands at Chausseestrasse 20 in Linthe, a village in Brandenburg about 35 kilometers south of Potsdam and 50 kilometers south of Berlin, close to the A9 motorway.
Four event rooms cover groups from a dozen people to 100 or more. All have daylight and can be blacked out, Wi-Fi is free throughout the house, and further event technology is available on request. The Festsaal has its own entrance and opens onto the courtyard garden, so a plenary session can break outside without crossing the hotel. For Christmas parties, the team prepares individual quotes, and the house also runs themed evenings such as dinner shows and a New Year's Eve gala.
Weddings and receptions
The family plans weddings individually, with festive set menus or buffets from 35 guests that couples can compose themselves. Christenings, birthdays and other family celebrations are hosted as well.

History and setting
The building went up as an inn with a hall between 1909 and 1912. Otto Paul bought it in 1937 and opened it on December 2 of that year with two guest rooms. It also held the village post office until 1964 and a general store until 1960. A hotel wing with 13 rooms followed in 1992. The Paul and Zörner families run the house; Simone and Volkmar Paul took over from Siegfried Paul in 1990. The village lies between the Fläming hills and the Baruth glacial valley.
Getting there
Linthe sits next to the A9 motorway, about 50 kilometers south of Berlin and 35 kilometers south of Potsdam, which keeps the drive short for teams from both cities.
