Meetings, seminars, training days and private celebrations for up to 80 guests can be organized here, with four meeting and seminar rooms, a garden terrace and a restaurant with several smaller dining rooms. The venue is Hotel Markgraf, at Friedensstraße 13 in Kloster Lehnin, a village in the Havelland region of Brandenburg, west of Potsdam and Berlin. The hotel has welcomed guests for 30 years.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells three day packages, priced per person. Classic covers coffee breaks, a buffet lunch and a buffet dinner, mineral water and juices in the room and a soft drink with each meal. Basic keeps the breaks, with pastries or sandwiches, and the buffet lunch, without dinner. Light offers two breaks with pastries and a short lunch of soup, half sandwiches and dessert. Every package includes the meeting room with internet access and standard equipment. A separate group work room can be added, and the technical list includes a smartboard with whiteboard panels, a 360-degree conference camera, a moderation kit, pinboards and flipcharts. A morning snack can be served on arrival day.
The team takes on the planning, organization and running of an event. Activities around the program draw on the setting: guided tours of the former Lehnin monastery, organ concerts in the monastery church, forest walks with a forester, a boccia court and ten bicycles for guests.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts family celebrations and private parties. Klostersee suits a buffet or a standing reception for up to 50 guests, and the garden terrace takes up to 80. The website does not describe a dedicated wedding offer, so couples should ask the team directly.
