Seminars, conferences, training days and team events for 5 to 240 people, with overnight stays for groups in 107 bedrooms, are the main business of Trans World Hotel Kranichhöhe. The hotel stands on wide grounds at Bövingen, in the municipality of Much in the Bergisches Land, and combines its meeting rooms with sports, wellness and outdoor programs.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a conference hotel in the countryside, built for events where people also move. A banquet office plans and runs each event, from a small workshop to a large conference. Meeting packages cover a full day, a half day or an afternoon and include a room sized to the group with the seating of your choice, in-house technology, water and juice in the room, a welcome coffee, coffee breaks with snacks that change daily, and lunch as a buffet or three-course menu chosen by the chef. Coffee is served in the foyer outside the meeting room until 5 p.m. Incentive and outdoor programs, including team development activities, are offered from a dedicated catalogue. The hotel also organizes Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations.
