Parkhotel Berghölzchen hosts conferences, training days and company dinners for two to 180 people, and weddings or family celebrations of up to 130 guests. The four-star hotel has eight meeting rooms from 10 to 320 m², all with daylight, and 79 bedrooms, so a residential seminar fits under one roof. It stands in a small wood on the Moritzberg, at the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Hildesheim in Lower Saxony.
Seminars and company events
The conference package includes the main meeting room sized to the group, a projector, a screen, a flipchart, a pinboard, a facilitator kit, WiFi and writing materials for each participant. Half days get one coffee break and full days two, each with sweet, savory and lighter snacks, plus a candy bar outside the room on full days. Water and apple juice are unlimited in the room and at lunch, which is a light buffet or a two-course menu. Some rooms can be fitted with 75-inch displays and a 4K conference camera for hybrid sessions, and microphones, digital flipcharts, a lectern and magnetic boards can be added. The team also builds support programs and tailored offers.
Weddings and receptions
The ground-floor banquet hall, formed by Moritzberg 1 and 2 with the foyer, seats up to 130 wedding guests. Free ceremonies can be held outdoors with a view over Hildesheim, and smaller weddings use the Moritzberg rooms on their own. Catering is by buffet or set menu, with optional drinks packages and a banquet menu published each year. The hotel also hosts family celebrations, memorial gatherings and Christmas parties.

History and setting
In 1770 the canons of the monastery on the Moritzberg laid out paths and benches in the small wood south of their church. A modest inn opened around 1790 and became a popular outing for Hildesheim residents, and musicians from the Prussian garrison played there in 1805. From 1849 to 1872 a summer theater called Tivoli ran in a quarry behind the inn, and the city bought the wood in 1862. Today the hotel looks over Hildesheim and the Innerste valley and belongs to the Halbersbacher group.
Getting there
The address is Am Berghölzchen 1, 31139 Hildesheim. The A7 motorway is close, and Hannover, Braunschweig and Salzgitter are each under 30 minutes away. Coaches and larger vehicles should follow the Mittelallee, as the Bergstraße approach is narrow in places. The nearest mainline station is Hildesheim Hauptbahnhof.
