Stadthotel Engel hosts meetings, workshops and training days for up to 65 people in four air-conditioned rooms, and participants can sleep in the hotel. The house is at Kronenstraße 13 in the old town of Ettlingen, a small town in Baden-Württemberg on the southern edge of Karlsruhe.
Seminars and company events
The largest room, Vogelsang, measures 92 m² and takes 65 people in rows, 40 in a parliamentary layout, 34 in a block and 30 in a U-shape. It divides into Vogelsang Nord and Vogelsang Süd, two rooms of 46 m² for 25 in rows or 14 to 16 around a table, which suits a plenary followed by two working groups. Robberg, at 38 m², is the room for a small team of 12 to 16. All rooms are bright and air-conditioned, and some lie behind partly historic walls. Projectors, flipcharts and pinboards are provided.
The day package covers the room, the equipment, two coffee breaks, a two-course lunch and drinks during the meeting. A snack lunch can replace the two-course meal when the agenda is tight, and a three-course dinner with a choice of three main courses can be added for the evening. Participants who stay overnight get a preferential room rate within the package.

Accommodation
The hotel offers single, double and multi-bed rooms, each stay with a full breakfast buffet. A small wellness area with a sauna and an infrared cabin gives participants somewhere to unwind after a long day. For weddings and other private celebrations held in Ettlingen, the hotel reserves blocks of rooms from 10 rooms upward, and with 15 rooms or more the couple's room for the wedding night is included. A shared breakfast for all guests, including those staying elsewhere, can be arranged in the breakfast room, and a light brunch is possible on request. Early check-in from 1 pm and late check-out until 1 pm can be booked when rooms are free.
Catering
Meeting catering is part of the package: coffee breaks, lunch and meeting drinks, with dinner as an option. Outside meetings, the food offer of the house centers on its breakfast, so evening plans for a larger group can also include one of the restaurants of the old town.
History and setting
The hotel sits among restored houses, narrow lanes and squares decorated with flowers in the historic center of Ettlingen. Ettlingen Palace and the banks of the Alb river are a few minutes' walk away, so a group can take a short walk through the center between two sessions.
Getting there
Ettlingen is about 8 km south of Karlsruhe. The town is linked to Karlsruhe by tram-train, and the A5 motorway passes just west of the center. The nearest airport is Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, and Karlsruhe main station has long-distance trains.
