Panorama Hotel Oberwiesenthal hosts seminars, training days, conferences and banquets for 8 to 250 people, along with weddings and family celebrations. The three-star hotel stands at the foot of the Fichtelberg in Oberwiesenthal, a town in the Ore Mountains of Saxony that the hotel describes as the highest in Germany. With 125 bedrooms, a full group can meet, eat and sleep in one building.
Seminars and company events
The hotel lists seven meeting rooms for groups of 8 to 250 participants and banquet rooms for 50 to 200 guests. Small teams can work in the five numbered meeting rooms, from about 20 to 61 m², while plenary sessions and gala dinners move into the Hüttenbach-Saal or the hotel restaurant, each over 220 m². Technical equipment includes a sound system with a 10-channel Soundcraft mixer, Sennheiser microphones and headsets, projectors up to 5,000 lumens, a video camera, pinboards, flipcharts and moderator cases. Wi-Fi is free in the meeting rooms, public areas and bedrooms. In winter, the Fichtelberg ski area next door gives the group an easy activity between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel says more than 200 couples have celebrated their wedding here, and it also hosts silver weddings and anniversaries. Receptions use the banquet rooms, the large lobby and an outdoor terrace that opens onto a nature and adventure park. A children's playroom helps families with young guests. Couples can choose gala buffets, a plated wedding menu, coffee service or an ice buffet, and the hotel adds a welcome cocktail with sparkling wine and live music. The Panorama Suite and a wedding suite are kept for the couple.
Rooms and capacities
The largest spaces are the Hüttenbach-Saal (235 m²), the hotel restaurant (221 m²) and the foyer (169 m²). Mid-sized groups fit in the Kaminzimmer (85 m²) and the Silbermine (82 m²), while Harrys Bar (55 m²) works for a reception or an evening drink. The five meeting rooms measure 61, 36, 20, 29 and 56 m². Ceilings range from 2.48 m in the meeting rooms to 3.60 m in the Silbermine. The hotel does not publish a capacity per room, so ask for the possible layouts when you send your request.
Accommodation
The hotel has 125 guest rooms, enough to keep a large seminar group or a whole wedding party together. The leisure area includes an indoor pool, a sauna and a sea-salt grotto, open to guests after the working day.
Catering
Meals come from the hotel kitchen, which serves regional cooking in its restaurants and bars. For events, it prepares buffets, set menus and coffee breaks, and for weddings it adds gala and ice buffets.
History and setting
Oberwiesenthal lies on the slopes of the Fichtelberg, the highest peak in Saxony, close to the Czech border. The town lives from winter sports, and the hotel stands near the lifts of the Fichtelberg ski area. In summer, the surrounding Ore Mountains suit hikes and outdoor team activities.
Getting there
The hotel is at Vierenstraße 11 in Oberwiesenthal. The narrow-gauge Fichtelbergbahn links the town with Cranzahl, where regional trains run toward Chemnitz. Chemnitz is about an hour away by road, and the nearest large airports are Dresden, Leipzig/Halle and Prague.
