GLS Campus Berlin hosts conferences, meetings, workshops, training days, galas, award ceremonies, networking dinners, Christmas parties and outdoor events for groups of about 20 to 700 people. The campus covers 16,000 m² in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, with six buildings set around green courtyards and trees, and it includes the Hotel Oderberger, which occupies a former public bath.
Seminars and company events
For a conference, the Aula takes up to 220 people on 165 m², with Wi-Fi, a projector, microphones and stages, and opens onto a front garden with a covered area outside the entrance for breaks in the rain. The Lounge, 107 m², takes up to 120 and has floor-to-ceiling windows onto the garden, a terrace, a projector, smartboards and microphones. Several bright meeting rooms on the campus look onto the courtyard, and a further room called Die 101 is listed for workshops. The hotel adds its own meeting rooms, a Library for meetings of up to 50 and a Salon. Seating in every room is arranged to the organizer's plan. Film screenings, presentations, training sessions, networking dinners and summer parties are among the formats listed, and the courtyards and terraces take barbecues and summer festivals when the weather allows.
Rooms and capacities
The largest space is the Poolhalle in the Stadtbad Oderberger, a listed Neo-Renaissance pool hall of 656 m². A hydraulic floor rises over the pool, so guests can dance or meet above the water, and the hall takes galas, premieres, concerts, parties and conferences for up to 700 people, with a PA system, microphones and DJ equipment in place. The Kaminbar in the hotel serves receptions and photo shoots, and Restaurant Oderberger, with a terrace in the inner courtyard, takes business dinners and celebrations. The campus as a whole suits groups from about 20 people up to the largest gatherings in the pool hall. An exposé, floor plans and a virtual tour of the pool hall are available, along with an event brochure and seasonal offers for summer and Christmas.
Accommodation
The Hotel Oderberger on the campus has 70 rooms, two apartments and five tower suites, so speakers and delegates can stay on site and walk to their sessions.
Catering
Food and drink are served as a set menu or a buffet. For the Aula, catering is supplied through GLS partners to the organizer's brief, and Restaurant Oderberger serves meals in the hotel.
History and setting
The Stadtbad Oderberger is a Neo-Renaissance public bath from the turn of the twentieth century. It stood empty for many years before GLS carried out an extensive renovation, and the pool hall is now under heritage protection. The rest of the campus is an ensemble of buildings from different periods, set among trees and inner courtyards in one of the greenest corners of central Berlin.
