The Kurhaus Bad Hamm can take a congress of up to 612 seated delegates, a working group of 12, a gala dinner for 150 or a wedding for 25 to 200 guests, with a civil ceremony in the same building. It is a listed building in the Kurpark of Hamm, in Westphalia, on Ostenallee east of the city center, and it runs as an event house with its own gastronomy.
Seminars and company events
The largest room, the Multifunktionssaal, covers 640 m² and seats up to 612. Seating is set for each event so that sightlines and acoustics work from every place, and the hall has modern basic technical equipment. It hosts conferences and congresses as well as theater and concerts, and an orchestra pit can be installed for large productions. For smaller formats, three meeting rooms named Von der Mark, Nienbrügge and Tom Hamme can each be set up as needed. The Spiegelsaal serves conferences as well as festive evenings. A seminar can therefore hold its plenary in one hall, run workshops in the smaller rooms and close with dinner in the Spiegelsaal without leaving the building. Hall rentals are handled by Hallenmanagement Hamm GmbH.
Weddings and receptions
The Kurhaus offers rooms for 25 to 200 wedding guests. Civil ceremonies take place in the Trauzimmer, a step-free room in the historic old building for 20 to 60 guests; the booking goes through the city registry office of Hamm. The reception then moves to one of the event rooms, and the Kurpark gives a green setting for photographs. The team offers personal planning advice based on long experience with events and has its own decoration service.

Accommodation
There are no bedrooms in the Kurhaus. The team works with hoteliers in the area and recommends places to stay close to the park, for delegates as well as wedding guests.
Catering
The house gastronomy runs a restaurant with international and regional dishes, salads and a changing seasonal offer, a café with fresh cakes and tortes, a Vinothek with wines from Bordeaux, Champagne and Riesling growers, and the beer garden. The kitchen is open daily except Wednesday, a rest day on which events still take place. Event menus are agreed with the team.
History and setting
The Kurhaus has been a place of social life in Hamm for more than a century, and each of its rooms carries a long tradition. The main building is protected as an architectural monument. It stands in the Kurpark, the green heart of the former spa quarter of Bad Hamm, so delegates can step out between sessions for a walk under the trees.
Getting there
The address is Ostenallee 87, 59071 Hamm. Hamm (Westf) Hauptbahnhof is a major rail hub with long-distance trains across Germany, a short taxi ride from the Kurpark. Dortmund Airport is the closest airport, and Düsseldorf Airport offers more international routes.
