Saline 1822 hosts seminars, conferences, training days, board meetings and weddings, with meeting rooms for 12 to 210 people and 126 bedrooms under the same roof. The four-star hotel stands by the Kurpark of Bad Rappenau, a spa town in northern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, next to the RappSoDie sauna and bath complex.
Seminars and company events
The meeting floor centers on three air-conditioned rooms named after local rivers. Neckar, about 135 m², seats 120 in theatre style, 75 at parliamentary tables or 40 in a U-shape. Kocher, about 90 m², seats 72 in theatre style or 45 at parliamentary tables. Opened together as Neckar-Kocher, they form a room of about 225 m² for 210 in theatre style or 115 at parliamentary tables. Jagst, about 39 m², is a small room with a 70-inch multifunction touch board and an induction loop for guests with hearing aids. Neckar, Kocher and the combined room have built-in projectors and sound systems. The hotel advertises catering tailored to each meeting, and planners can request a dinner and a block of bedrooms with the same inquiry.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a free ceremony in the Gartenzimmer of the Villa Botsch, an Art Nouveau villa next to the hotel, for up to 30 guests. Receptions take place in Kocher, Neckar or the combined Neckar and Kocher room, which takes up to 100 guests at dinner. The rooms have oak floors, and Neckar has panoramic windows. The in-house pastry chef makes the wedding cake, and the hotel works with local photographers, stylists and a childcare service.
Rooms and capacities
Beyond the main floor, the Villa Botsch offers a garden room of 50 m² with a 16 m² breakout room, for 35 in theatre style, and an upper floor with a work room, a lounge and a breakout room for up to 18. Salinencarré, an 85 m² room with an 86-inch screen, seats 75 in theatre style or 45 at parliamentary tables. Three small rooms, Mühlbach, Straßbach and Raubach, each about 26 m², take 25 in theatre style and suit breakout groups.
Accommodation
The hotel has 126 rooms across five floors. Categories run from single rooms of about 22 m² and doubles of about 26 m² to junior suites of up to 49 m² and family rooms for three to five people. A paid garage is available for guests.
Catering
Restaurant & Bar Salzwerk is the hotel's restaurant, and meeting breaks, lunches and dinners are arranged with the hotel's own team.
History and setting
The name refers to 1822, the year salt deposits were discovered at Bad Rappenau, which led to the town's saltworks and later to its spa. The facade carries a curtain pattern inspired by salt crystals. The setting is calm, by the spa gardens and away from city traffic, which suits retreats and training programs over several days.
Getting there
The address is Salinenstraße 33, 74906 Bad Rappenau. Heilbronn is about 20 km away, the A6 motorway passes close to the town, and Stuttgart Airport is about an hour's drive. Bad Rappenau has a regional rail station.
