Meetings and seminars for 4 to 200 people can be organized at Hotel Sauerbrey, a family hotel in Lerbach, a district of Osterode am Harz in Lower Saxony. The house has belonged to the same family since 1850 and is now run by the fifth generation, with a restaurant, a pool and a sauna under the same roof.
Seminars and company events
The meeting area sits in the newer part of the building. It is quiet, has daylight and comes with its own restrooms, a foyer for breaks and a private terrace where groups can take coffee or work outside in summer. Rooms are equipped with a projector, screen and flipchart, and seminar guests get a separate wifi network. The hotel can add a supporting program to a meeting, such as a guided motorcycle tour or a hike in the surrounding hills. It describes itself as the first motorcycle hotel in the Harz, and garage spaces for motorcycles are available depending on demand. Groups staying overnight can end the working day in the restaurant or at the pool and sauna, which are free for all hotel guests.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel states that its meeting rooms take groups from 4 to 200 people. The Seminarraum, the one room it names, seats up to 25. The site does not list the other rooms by name or size, so larger groups should ask for the layout that fits their program.
Accommodation
Bedrooms come in three categories. Standard rooms measure 14 to 28 square meters, with two twin rooms available and extra beds possible in some. Komfort rooms measure 23 to 30 square meters, and almost all have a balcony, loggia or terrace. The hotel also has suites. Breakfast is included in overnight stays, and wifi is free throughout the building. Guests can use the swimming pool, whirlpool and sauna at no charge.
Catering
The hotel restaurant, Zum Trost, takes its name from a family nickname used in the village. Chef René Toussaint and his team cook traditional and regional dishes in a modern style and add international options. In summer a beer garden is open. The restaurant also runs a brunch and gourmet weekends.
History and setting
Hotel Sauerbrey has been in family hands since 1850, and the name of its restaurant carries a piece of village history into the dining room. Lerbach lies in a valley of the Harz, and the hotel presents its location as central in Germany and close to the motorway, with the sights of the Harz within easy reach for an outing after a working morning.
Getting there
The hotel is at Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 129 in Lerbach, part of Osterode am Harz. Parking is free, and motorcyclists can ask for a garage space when they book.
