Schloss Eckberg hosts seminars and conferences for up to 100 people, small board meetings, weddings, anniversaries, receptions and private dinners for up to 80 guests. The castle hotel and restaurant stands in a large park high above the Elbe in Dresden, at Bautzner Straße 134, and is run by hosts Thomas and Odett Gaier. Guests can sleep on site, in the castle itself or in the Kavaliershaus.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms are in the Remise, the former carriage house in the park. Remise I covers 110 square meters and takes up to 100 people in rows, 50 at classroom tables, 35 in a U-shape or 35 around a single table. Remise III, of 108 square meters, takes 50 in rows, 40 at classroom tables and 30 in a U-shape or block. Remise IV, of 78 square meters, takes 35 in rows, 30 at classroom tables and 24 in a U-shape or block. Together the three rooms serve a group of up to 100.
For small, confidential meetings, the former library in the castle has become a high-tech meeting room for up to 8 people, with a direct view of the Elbe. It has a ClickShare system to connect several laptops to a large screen, Dolby Surround sound, a room microphone, a built-in camera for video conferences and controls at the table. The hotel offers day packages for meetings, and an evening dinner in the castle can close the day.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries and receptions take place in several historic rooms and halls and on the terrace. Together these rooms hold up to 80 guests. The banquet office plans each event with the hosts and offers set menus, buffets and table plans.
Rooms and capacities
Remise I: 110 square meters, up to 100. Remise III: 108 square meters, up to 50. Remise IV: 78 square meters, up to 35. Library: up to 8. Historic rooms and terrace in the castle: up to 80 in total for banquets and celebrations. Because the buildings are listed, access to the castle, the Kavaliershaus and the meeting rooms in the Remise is not step-free; the staff help where they can.
Accommodation
Bedrooms are spread over two buildings: rooms rated four-star superior in the castle and three-star superior rooms in the Kavaliershaus. The whole hotel is non-smoking, and guests who smoke can ask for a room with a balcony. The reception is staffed around the clock.
Catering
The castle restaurant serves regional classics, lighter modern dishes and well-known favorites, and it caters every event in house, from a gourmet dinner to a wedding buffet.
History and setting
The castle sits on a slope above the river, surrounded by an extensive landscaped park, with the Kavaliershaus and the Remise among the trees. The library and the historic halls keep their period character, and the view from the castle runs down to the Elbe. A drone film on the official site shows the park and all the buildings.
Getting there
Schloss Eckberg is at Bautzner Straße 134, 01099 Dresden, on the slopes above the Elbe outside the old town.
