Pałac Brunów

Pałac Brunów hosts seminars, conferences, company events and weddings for up to 450 guests, with beds for about 164 people in three historic buildings on the same estate. The baroque palace stands in the village of Brunów, near Lwówek Śląski in Lower Silesia, Poland. It operates as a hotel with a restaurant and a spa, so a group can work, eat and stay without leaving the grounds.

Seminars and company events The estate lists five rooms for meetings and training. Each one has a projector, a built-in screen, a flipchart, a whiteboard, a sound system, Wi-Fi and adjustable blackout. The largest is the Carriage House hall of 500 m², used for conferences, banquets and large plenary sessions. The Crystal Room in the palace, the Ball Hall, the Stable Room and the small Drawing Room cover breakouts, workshops and board-style meetings.

The venue offers coffee breaks, buffet snacks, lunches and formal dinners, and a closing banquet or reception can follow a conference day. Company events are arranged to the client's brief: presentations, training courses, conferences and team meetings, with the 4.5-hectare park available between sessions. The official site lists references from two Polish universities and a consumer bank that came back for several editions.

Weddings and receptions Weddings are held in the Ball Hall of the Carriage House, which seats 170 guests at round tables or 400 at rectangular tables. The minimum is 100 guests, and a wedding in the Carriage House requires bedrooms to be booked in the same building. The Crystal Room in the palace seats 90 guests at rectangular tables or 60 at round tables. A ceremony can take place anywhere on the grounds, including the garden.

The wedding menu is composed from a list of more than 200 dishes, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The kitchen is led by chef Mateusz Szpytma. For smaller parties, a celebration dinner or lunch is possible in the intimate rooms of the palace and the outbuilding. Such a reception lasts about six hours, until 10 pm, within restaurant hours.
