Hotel zum Harzer takes seminars, training days and private celebrations for up to 60 people, with a meeting room, a hall for parties and 34 bedrooms under the same roof. The four-star hotel stands on Treuerstraße in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, a former mining town in the Upper Harz mountains of Lower Saxony.
Seminars and company events
The day meeting package covers the meeting room, a two-course lunch with a choice of two main courses and one drink, and unlimited coffee, tea, mineral water and juices in the room. Other drinks are charged on consumption. Add-ons include break snacks such as fresh fruit, pastries, Harz sheet cake, yogurt, filled rolls or raw vegetables with herb dip, a two-course dinner in the restaurant, or a Tscherper supper in the vaulted cellar. The basic setup includes daylight that can be darkened, free Wi-Fi, a projector, a pinboard, a flip chart with paper and markers, notepads, and staff support during the day. The hotel presents its location near the middle of Germany as a meeting point for teams traveling from several states. Parking is free.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts birthdays, anniversaries, confirmations, christenings, company parties, Christmas parties and weddings. There are no set wedding packages: menus, buffets and prices are agreed after a request, priced per evening or per person.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room covers 110 square meters, seats up to 60 and opens onto a small terrace for breaks. The hall takes up to 60 guests for larger parties. The breakfast room seats up to 25 for celebrations with a set menu or a buffet. Restaurant Calvör serves dinner after a meeting day, and the vaulted cellar hosts the Tscherper supper.
Accommodation
The hotel has 34 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV, so a group of 60 can largely stay on site for a two-day program. A wellness area is part of the hotel for the evening after a session.
Catering
Restaurant Calvör cooks regional dishes and handles all meeting meals, from lunch to dinner. In the cellar, the Tscherper supper brings bread with Harz sausages and Harz cheese, a meal that goes back to the miners of the region.
History and setting
Clausthal-Zellerfeld grew on silver mining for centuries and is home to the Clausthal University of Technology. The Market Church of the Holy Spirit, one of the largest wooden churches in Germany, and the ponds and ditches of the Upper Harz Water Management System, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, are close to the hotel. The quiet location and the forests around the town give groups walking and cycling routes for an afternoon outside.
Getting there
Clausthal-Zellerfeld has no railway station of its own. The nearest main station is Goslar, about 20 kilometers to the north, with regional buses up to the town. By car, the A7 runs to the west of the Harz. The nearest airport is Hannover.
