Conferences, company parties, galas and weddings for up to 350 guests, as well as small meetings for 25, can be held at Gut Immenhof, a restored estate hotel on the shore of the Kellersee in Malente, in the Holstein Switzerland lake district of Schleswig-Holstein. The estate offers seven event spaces, two restaurants, a bar, a farm café, a spa and 50 rooms and suites.
Seminars and company events
The Melkhus Saal is the largest room: 457 m² under a high pitched roof, with a view of the lake, for 75 to 350 people. It suits plenary sessions, company parties and gala dinners. Rodesand, a restaurant room of 102 m², takes up to 50 for a meeting combined with a meal. Smaller groups use the Weinkeller in the manor house, the Hofladen in the former Peerstall or the Reiterstübchen above the riding hall. In-house event technology is available. For residential programs, the hotel holds more than 25 rooms and maisonettes for event guests. Riding lessons, guided rides and tours of the farm can be added to a program.
Weddings and receptions
The Rosengarten, between the manor house and the lake, is used for open-air receptions and free ceremonies, and the hotel can arrange a celebrant. A typical wedding day includes a sparkling wine reception, a three-course menu and a wedding cake from the estate's own patisserie in the manor house. Dinner and dancing take place in the Melkhus Saal for up to 350 guests, or in Rodesand or the Weinkeller for a smaller party. Wedding guests can stay on the estate.
