The Waldhotel Stuttgart hosts seminars, conferences, training days and weddings, with seven meeting rooms for groups of 10 to 64 and 96 bedrooms for participants who stay the night. The privately owned four-star superior hotel stands in Degerloch, a green, elevated district of Stuttgart, on a park property of more than one hectare at the edge of the forest, close to the Stuttgart TV Tower.
Seminars and company events
Meetings are the main business of the house, which presents itself as a conference hotel, and its managing director Jörg Grede received the title Top-Tagungshotelier 2026. The Ballsaal works as a single plenary room or as two separate seminar rooms, while K1 and K2 take breakout groups in plenty of daylight. The Lindensaal has its own terrace with access to the garden, which suits a workshop that moves outdoors in summer. A dedicated events team plans each booking, from the room layout to the meals, and the park around the hotel gives a group space for a walk between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes wedding celebrations after a civil or church ceremony and can also stage a non-religious ceremony in the garden. Receptions use the large garden and the sunny terrace in front of Restaurant Finch, with canapés passed by waiting staff, and the Ballsaal and the Elsässerzimmer are named among the rooms for the celebration. The Suite and the Junior Suite are offered to the couple, and a wedding brochure sets out the full offer.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballsaal measures 185 m² and seats 64 in parliamentary layout, 38 around a block of tables, 36 in a circle of chairs or 30 in a U-shape. Divided, Ballsaal 1 (107 m²) seats 22 in parliamentary layout or 26 in a block, and Ballsaal 2 (78 m²) 14 or 20. The Lindensaal (105 m²) takes 32 in parliamentary layout and 28 in a block. K2 (55 m²) seats 16 and K1 (40 m²) 12 in a block, and the Elsässerzimmer (51 m²), next to the main restaurant, seats 14 around one table.
Accommodation
The hotel has 94 rooms and 2 suites, enough for a full seminar group to sleep on site. Guests can use a wellness area with sauna, steam bath and a fitness room.
Catering
Restaurant Finch is the gourmet restaurant of the hotel and serves daily from noon to 9:30 p.m. Hotelbar No. 18 and the summer terrace cover the evening and the breaks between sessions.
History and setting
The site has received guests since the early 20th century. The CVJM, the German YMCA, built a summer house here in 1911, and a convalescent home designed by the Stuttgart architects Klatte & Weigle opened in 1925. After decades as a guesthouse, new buildings opened in 1981 as the three-star Waldhotel Degerloch. The present owners bought the property in 2007 and, after a complete renovation designed by architect André Behncke, reopened it in September 2011 as the four-star Waldhotel Stuttgart. The Superior label followed in November 2012.
Getting there
The U-Bahn reaches the city center in about nine minutes. By car, Stuttgart Airport and the Messe Stuttgart are about 15 minutes away, and the hotel has an underground garage.
