Seminars and company events
Sporthotel & Resort Grafenwald hosts seminars, training courses, incentive trips and company parties, with six meeting rooms and a restaurant seating 150, in Daun in the Vulkaneifel, Germany. The four-star hotel sits in the Gemünden district of the town, on a wooded resort site that opened in 1977 as a holiday park and has been run independently since 2013.
The six rooms are described as bright, and all come with a projector and screen, pinboards, a flipchart, a moderator case and free Wi-Fi. Three meeting packages, Basic, Komfort and Premium, cover room, equipment and food, and the events team can add overnight stays for participants.
The incentive program draws on the Vulkaneifel Nature and Geopark around the hotel. Groups can book themed hikes, an art workshop, goat cheese making at the Vulkanhof farm, a zipline team challenge, mountain bike and e-mountain bike tours, or a wine tasting with growers from the Ahr and the Moselle. Tennis courses and the spa fill the evenings.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes anniversaries, summer parties and Christmas parties for families and companies, and handles food, decoration, entertainment and accommodation. Six settings are offered for these events: Restaurant Grafenwald, the Kaminzimmer, Stübchen Grafenwald, the sun terrace, the Dorfschänke tavern and the village square with its beer garden. Weddings are not presented as a separate offer on the official site.
Rooms and capacities
The floor plan names five meeting rooms. On the upper floor, Lieser is the largest, shown with classroom rows, while Mosel is laid out as a boardroom and Saar in a U-shape, all three opening off a shared foyer. On the lower floor, Vulkan and Eifel sit side by side, each shown in a U-shape. Seat counts per room are not published. For dining, Restaurant Grafenwald seats 150, and Stübchen Grafenwald and the Dorfschänke seat 60 each.
Accommodation
Guests sleep in comfort rooms, including rooms set aside for snorers, in suites from the comfort suite to wellness and deluxe suites, or in holiday houses spread across the site. In 2019, 29 comfort rooms and four suites in the Studiohaus were renovated, and in 2023, 15 units in the Appartementhaus became deluxe and wellness suites. The spa has a pool, a sauna area, a fitness studio, massages and beauty treatments.
Catering
Restaurant Grafenwald serves regional and seasonal cooking as a breakfast buffet, à la carte and evening buffets, with a sun terrace facing the Vulkaneifel. Stübchen Grafenwald is a private room where the menu is set for each occasion. The Dorfschänke pours Bitburger from the tap and opens its beer garden with fountain in good weather.
