WENS Hotel in Mainz hosts conferences, company parties and weddings for up to 300 guests in the Gutenberg hall, with two smaller meeting rooms and 50 rooms on site. The four-star hotel garni stands on Carl-Zeiss-Straße in Mainz-Hechtsheim, in the Rhine-Main region near Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, with quick access to the motorway.
Seminars and company events
Gutenberg is the main room for conferences, product launches and general assemblies. It has daylight, a ceiling height of 5.12 meters and a lighting system that can be adjusted for each event. Frauenlob and Atalay, the two meeting rooms, suit trainings and workshops of up to 18 people. They have no daylight and use lighting designed to limit fatigue, with a lounge area serving coffee, tea and chilled soft drinks.
Day and half-day packages come in three levels. All include the main room with basic technology, drinks, morning and afternoon snacks and a two-course lunch buffet. The middle level adds a welcome coffee and a candy bar, and the top level a three-course lunch buffet and writing materials. Each room has a projector and screen, a pinboard, a flipchart, power and Wi-Fi.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and private celebrations in the Gutenberg hall. Decoration is handled by partner firms, and couples can bring their own music or choose a DJ and any style they like. The hotel says its location allows celebrations to run undisturbed, and guests can stay in the hotel's rooms after the party.
Rooms and capacities
Gutenberg I measures 274 square meters and takes up to 150 guests. Opened up as Gutenberg II, the hall reaches 398 square meters for up to 300. The Frauenlob and Atalay meeting area measures 70 square meters and takes up to 18 participants. The site gives no breakdown by layout, so seated and standing numbers are set with the team.
Accommodation
The hotel has 50 rooms at four-star standard. It has announced a new building that will bring the total to 92 rooms and suites and add three meeting rooms and a restaurant with a bar.
Catering
The hotel has no restaurant of its own today. Lunches in the meeting packages are served as buffets, and dinners for groups of 15 or more are supplied by an external caterer as a three-course buffet. For weddings and parties the hotel puts organizers in touch with its selected catering partners, and it says it works mainly with regional products.
Getting there
Parking is free in front of the hotel and on nearby streets, subject to availability, with paid spaces in the underground garage and two charging points for electric cars. The motorway is close by, and Wiesbaden and Frankfurt are within easy reach by road, which suits regional teams and guests driving in for an evening event.
