Hotel & Restaurant Weiße Taube hosts conferences, company events, receptions, weddings and family celebrations for 5 to 130 guests, in a historic banquet hall and several smaller rooms, with 15 bedrooms in the same building. The family-run house stands on Eisenbahnstraße in Döbeln, in Saxony, roughly midway between Leipzig and Dresden.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells conferences and seminars for groups of about 10 to 120 people. In conference use the air-conditioned Bankettsaal takes 15 to 120 participants, the Napoleonstube 5 to 25 and the Salon Meißen 5 to 20, so one house can cover a board meeting, a training day or a plenary session followed by dinner. Conference technology is available on request. The kitchen also caters company events, client gatherings and trade fair stands, and it can deliver food off site when an event takes place elsewhere.
Weddings and receptions
The Bankettsaal is presented as the historic wedding and banquet hall of the house, for up to 130 guests. The team arranges the room and the seating plan to the couple's wishes. The hall can also be rented without catering, in which case heating or air conditioning, sound and lighting, crockery, cutlery and glasses are included, and the rental covers a preparation day and a follow-up day. In summer the beer garden adds an outdoor area for a reception or a relaxed party.
Rooms and capacities
Five spaces can be booked. The Bankettsaal holds up to 130 people; it dates from 1854 and is decorated in turn-of-the-century style. The Napoleonstube, for up to 30 people, is hung with historical pictures, weapons and documents on Saxon history and has its own bowling alley. The Salon Meißen, for up to 20, takes its decor from the porcelain tradition of the region. The Kaminrestaurant, the small fireplace restaurant, seats up to 45. The beer garden opens in summer.
Accommodation
The hotel has 15 single and double rooms and is non-smoking. A seminar group or a wedding party can stay on site, which keeps a two-day program in one building.
Catering
The kitchen of Restaurant zum Meisterkoch cooks regional, Mediterranean and seasonal dishes. For events it offers plated menus and buffets, from rustic spreads to standing buffets, and more than 30 kinds of homemade cake. The head chef advises on individual requests.
History and setting
The house has received guests since 1853 and is run today by the third generation of the Koschinsky family. The Napoleonstube and the banquet hall keep the historic character of the building, while the restaurant has Saxon decor and an open fireplace.
Getting there
The address is Eisenbahnstraße 1, 04720 Döbeln. Döbeln lies in central Saxony, between Leipzig and Dresden, which makes the hotel a practical meeting point for teams from both cities.
