The Seehotel am Kaiserstrand in Lochau, Vorarlberg, hosts seminars, board meetings, receptions and weddings on the shore of Lake Constance, between Lindau and Bregenz. Six seminar rooms take groups of 10 to 90 people, and three exclusive spaces handle dinners and standing receptions for up to 120 guests.
Seminars and company events
The seminar area sits on two levels, away from the public areas of the hotel. It has six air-conditioned rooms with daylight, and the whole area was redesigned in 2025. A foyer next to the rooms is used for coffee breaks and small exhibitions. Two of the rooms can be combined, and the hotel gives the combined capacity as about 85 people.
The hotel lists three all-in meeting packages and says there is no extra room rental from 10 participants. Coffee breaks can be vegetarian or vegan. For longer programs, the event team arranges incentives with local partners, and a partner offers stress and sleep analyses and breathing exercises as part of a "Business and Balance" format.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings, from small gatherings to large parties, on the lakeshore. A wedding brochure is available on the website. The service team handles the organization on the day. For receptions, the Badehaus takes up to 100 people standing, and the restaurant seats up to 120.

The hotel also has a spa with a pool, saunas and a fitness room, which organizers can use for the evening of a seminar.
History and setting
The building has a stepped-gable, castle-like facade and is a listed monument. The estate was bought in 1905, became a hotel in 1910 and was extended in 1912. Emperor Charles I visited in 1917, which gave the house its name. From 1954 to 1998 it served as army barracks. The hotel reopened in July 2023 after a full renovation, under the management of the pepper collection.
Getting there
The Lochau-Hörbranz station is 200 m from the hotel. Bregenz main station is about 2.5 km away, 10 minutes by bus, with buses every 10 to 15 minutes. Railjet and InterCity trains reach Bregenz from Vienna, Innsbruck, Zurich and Munich. Parking is available in the courtyard and in the underground garage, and two electric charging points are in the courtyard.
