Ringhotel Zweibrücker Hof hosts conferences, seminars, product launches, company celebrations and weddings for up to 350 guests, with 17 event rooms and 117 bedrooms on site. The four-star hotel stands above the Ruhr in Herdecke, facing the town's old center and the river valley.
Seminars and company events
The hotel is organised around meetings. Every event room has daylight, and all except the hall foyer are air-conditioned. The rooms are spread over three areas: the Galerieforum, the Saal wing with the Ruhrfestsaal, and the Ruhrforum on the fifth floor, which opened in January 2016. Three conference foyers serve the breaks, and the Ruhrforum has a balcony running all the way around the floor. For hybrid meetings, a Logitech Group system handles up to 20 participants in the room. The hotel puts together custom conference offers and was listed among the best conference hotels in Germany for 2025/26.

The Ruhrfestsaal seats 330 for a banquet and has a 45 m² stage, which suits weddings, anniversaries and family parties as well as company galas. The Galerieforum rooms open onto a terrace or balcony with a view of the Ruhr, and the beer garden by the river takes summer receptions outdoors.
