Seminars and company events

All meeting rooms have media and conference equipment and air conditioning, Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and parking is directly on site. After the sessions, groups can use the bowling alley, the Finnish sauna and the garden terrace, and a golf course and jogging routes are close by.

A non-religious ceremony can be held at the hotel, and the garden terrace works for an outdoor wedding in good weather.

The couple's room for the wedding night is included, and guests can book bedrooms in the hotel.

History and setting
The hotel takes its name from Wittekind, also known as Widukind, the Saxon duke. It has existed since the early twentieth century, when it began as a meeting place for visitors to the horse races in nearby Dortmund-Wambel. The building was destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt entirely in 1976 in a country-house style. A large, quiet garden sits behind the hotel.
Getting there
The address is Westfalendamm 270, 44141 Dortmund. A U-Bahn stop is about 80 m from the entrance, and the Westfalenhallen, the trade fair and the city center are a few minutes away. Dortmund Airport is a short drive, and parking is directly at the hotel.
