Seminars and company events
Small seminars, training days and company parties for 20 to 60 people can be organised at Hotel & Restaurant Zum Röddenberg, a family-scale hotel with its own restaurant in Osterode am Harz, Germany. The meeting rooms are bright and come with a projector, a screen and a flipchart. The hotel sells conference packages that cover the whole day, so an organiser deals with one contact for the room, the meals and the beds.
A typical package includes the overnight stay with a breakfast buffet, a morning coffee break with pastries and fruit, drinks in the meeting room, a three-course lunch or a lunch buffet, and an afternoon break with homemade cake. Parking is free for participants, which matters in a town where most groups arrive by car. Company Christmas parties and team celebrations are also on the list of events the restaurant takes.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant hosts wedding parties, christenings, first communions, confirmations, birthdays and other family celebrations, with an overnight stay for guests when needed. The site gives the comfortable range for a private party as 20 to 60 people. There is no mention of civil ceremonies on site, so the venue suits the meal and the evening after a ceremony in town.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel does not publish names or sizes for its event rooms. For a party, it states that groups of 20 to 60 guests are well looked after. The meeting rooms are equipped with standard presentation tools: projector, screen and flipchart. A lift with a step-free entrance serves the building.
Accommodation
The hotel has 25 non-smoking rooms, singles and doubles. Each has a shower or bath, WC, hairdryer, flat-screen satellite television and a safe, and Wi-Fi is available. Some rooms have a balcony or a terrace. Breakfast is served as a buffet. Garage spaces for motorcycles are available, which is useful for clubs touring the Harz.
Catering
All food comes from the hotel's own restaurant, which is open every day of the year. The kitchen cooks regional Harz dishes and plans a menu with each host, with advice on wines and other drinks from its cellar. Seasonal offers include a goose season in autumn, and the restaurant also runs beer tastings led by a beer sommelier, an easy add-on for an evening after a working day.
History and setting
The hotel stands on Steiler Ackerweg in Osterode am Harz, a town at the foot of the Harz mountains. The area is known for hiking and cycling, and the hotel points guests to routes in the Harz and to the region's UNESCO World Heritage sites.
