Hotel Spanischer Hof in Gröditz, in northern Saxony, takes meetings for up to 120 people and private celebrations and weddings for up to 80 guests, with 46 bedrooms in the same building. The hotel is built and furnished in a Spanish style, from its honey-yellow facade and domed towers to the tiles and woodwork brought from Spain.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meetings and meeting packages built around its conference rooms. The rooms open directly onto a terrace and can be combined into one bright area of 127 square meters for up to 120 participants. The hotel lists modern conference technology and can put together a supporting program for groups. Meeting packages include Spanish specialties from the hotel's own restaurants, so lunch and breaks stay in the house.
After the working day, groups can use the bowling alley with its cocktail bar, the sauna area and the fitness room. The hotel also runs its own evening formats, such as crime-mystery and theater nights, and a yearly summer fiesta, which can give a group a ready-made program. Charging points for electric cars are on site, and the hotel also handles coach groups.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a civil ceremony or a free ceremony at the hotel, in green surroundings, and continue with dinner and dancing on site. The hotel offers individual wedding packages, decoration and entertainment, and the couple can spend the night in one of the two tower suites, which run over two floors with a spiral staircase. Other celebrations, such as birthdays, anniversaries and company parties, take up to 80 guests. Children's birthday parties are also on the menu.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting area totals 127 square meters and takes up to 120 people when the rooms are combined. The site shows seating layouts as a plan but does not publish the size of each section, so organisers should ask for the plan that matches their layout. Celebrations are capped at 80 guests. The steakhouse restaurant and the bowling and bar area complete the spaces available to groups.
Accommodation
The hotel has 46 rooms over two floors: standard and comfort rooms, four junior suites, two apartments, two farmhouse-style rooms and two tower suites named Sofia and Juan Carlos. Thirty-five rooms have air conditioning, a minibar and a safe, and the bathrooms carry hand-painted tiles. A residential seminar of several dozen people can therefore stay under one roof.
Catering
Food comes from the hotel's own kitchens. For celebrations the hotel serves rustic Spanish menus or themed buffets, and on request longer menus with matching wines, with cava and pinchos as an aperitif. Decoration, menu cards and the choice of food and drinks are arranged with the host. Wedding couples choose between a served menu and a buffet. The hotel also runs a catering service for events elsewhere.
History and setting
The hotel presents itself as a reflection of southern lifestyle. A fountain stands in the lobby next to a suit of Spanish knight's armor from the fourteenth century, and the interiors use Spanish wall paintings, wooden balustrades and fittings imported from Spain. Gröditz is a small town in northern Saxony, and the hotel serves guests from Riesa, Großenhain and the surrounding area.
Getting there
The hotel is at Hauptstraße 15a, 01609 Gröditz. Dresden lies about an hour to the south by road. Reception is staffed every day, with shorter hours at weekends, and late arrivals can be arranged in advance.
