Getting there and practical details

Hotel Schloss Waldeck can host seminars in five meeting rooms and weddings or banquets for up to 150 guests, inside a castle hotel above the Edersee in Hesse. The four-star superior hotel stands in Schloss Waldeck, in the town of Waldeck, on a castle site that goes back to the 11th century.

Seminars and company events

The hotel has a dedicated offer for meetings and seminars, with pages for rooms, packages, catering and side programs. Five meeting rooms are listed: the Wildunger Saal, the Brauner Salon, the Glashaus, Horizont West and Horizont Ost. The site says the rooms suit different group sizes but publishes no capacity for them, so send your headcount and layout with the request. Besides the meeting rooms, the house organizes themed dinners, including a musical dinner and a crime dinner, which can serve as an evening program for a group staying on site.

Weddings and receptions

The Rittersaal is the main room for weddings and large banquets. It takes up to 150 guests. Its thick walls, stone columns, old wood and heavy lamps give it a medieval setting, and the tables can be moved to make space for a stage and a dance floor. Two restaurants, the Altane and the Alte Turmuhr, are also available for celebrations.

Civil ceremonies can take place in the castle itself, in the Standesamt room called Ederseeraum. It has thick walls, small windows and an old wooden floor, and takes up to 20 people for a ceremony or 18 at one table for a banquet. The hotel recommends partners for flowers, photography, music, technical equipment, make-up and hair, fireworks and wedding cakes, and couples remain free to choose their own providers. A wedding brochure and availability are available through the contact form.

Rooms and capacities

The largest room is the Rittersaal, with up to 150 guests. The Ederseeraum seats 18 at one table. The five meeting rooms have no published figures. Ask for a floor plan and layout options for each when you plan a seminar.

Accommodation

The hotel is a four-star superior property with its own room categories and arrangements. The site does not give a total number of bedrooms, so confirm the count and the room blocks available for your dates. Guests also have access to a wellness and sauna area, and a small museum is part of the castle. The hotel publishes seasonal arrangements, for example a Christmas stay with three or four nights, breakfast, a multi-course dinner on December 24 and a castle tour.

Catering

The hotel has its own restaurants and a catering section for meeting groups. The Altane and the Alte Turmuhr serve guests and can be booked for celebrations. Dinner shows and theme evenings are organized in the house throughout the year.

History and setting

The castle was built in the 11th century and stands about 120 meters above the valley, as a landmark of the region. From the hill, guests see the Edersee, the national park and the Kellerwald-Edersee nature park. The hotel lives inside the old castle walls, which gives meetings and weddings a setting shaped by the history of the place.
