The relexa hotel Bad Steben takes conferences for up to 330 people in rows, seminars and workshops in ten smaller room options, company events with team-building programs, and weddings and family celebrations. It is a four-star spa hotel with 122 rooms on Badstraße in Bad Steben, a spa town in the Frankenwald nature park in northern Bavaria, Germany, directly beside the Kurpark.
Seminars and company events
Meeting rooms are spread over the main building and an annex, and range from 25 to 308 m². The Grosser Kurhaus-Saal in the annex is the plenary room, with 330 in rows and 200 in a classroom layout. Two pairs of rooms, Düsseldorf and München, can each be combined into a 90 m² room for 80. Projectors and conference equipment are provided, and the hotel sells day and residential meeting packages. Team-building options include an escape room about 350 meters away, Life Kinetik sessions, outdoor programs with archery and orientation, a guided hike in the Frankenwald, an evening with a guided tour of the Bad Steben casino, and barbecue evenings on the winter garden terrace for groups of 20 or more. There is also a Christmas party offer.
Weddings and receptions
The banquet manager and the head chef plan each wedding menu or buffet with the couple, and advise on table decoration and the welcome drink. When the celebration takes place in the hotel, the couple receives a decorated suite for the wedding night. Family celebrations are offered on the same basis.
