Your guide to booking a seminar house

Are you a trainer, or would you like to organize a seminar with your team? Then you need the right location for your event and need to book a seminar house. A creative environment can promote inspiration and also advance the content of the seminar. To help you find the perfect seminar house and really feel at home, we share our experience from numerous organized seminars and hundreds of seminar houses visited throughout Europe.

Who are seminar houses suitable for?

We recommend seminar houses to smaller teams who want to work on their team cohesion and prefer a more intimate atmosphere and in some cases do not shy away from self-catering (but often a seminar house with catering can also be organized).

What is a seminar house?

A seminar house is a type of accommodation that is specially designed for seminars, conferences and other events. It is usually a large building with several rooms available for meetings and seminars. A seminar house offers you a quiet and productive working environment where you can concentrate on your work without being disturbed by other people or distractions.

How much does a seminar house cost?

Seminar houses are often one of the cheapest ways to host your event. You usually rent the entire house for a fixed price. In some cases, there may be a surcharge depending on the number of people. With the right group size, this is often up to 50% cheaper than a comparable offer from a conference hotel. 

What should I look out for when booking a seminar house?

When booking a seminar house, pay attention to the following factors:

Travel You should ideally be able to reach the seminar house by public transport (bus & train). This allows you to travel sustainably. However, this often conflicts with the secluded location of these houses. It may therefore also make sense to hire your own bus for the journey.

Catering Some seminar houses offer catering. In others, you will have to cater for yourself. In this case, either a kitchen should be available or restaurants/delivery services should be nearby.

Rooms The number of rooms is often a bottleneck when selecting seminar houses. Pay attention to how the rooms are divided up, perhaps several people can be accommodated in one room with separate beds. This increases your chances of finding a nice seminar house in the countryside. 
Hosts The hosts have a big influence on your time in the seminar house. Open and courteous communication is important to ensure that you are helped quickly in the event of problems. Pay particular attention to reviews of the venue. 

Rooms Ideally, the rooms should already be fully equipped for your seminar. This means a projector & screen or large screen and moderation material for workshops are important. You also need sufficient space and, ideally, a few smaller rooms where you can retreat and a large room where everyone can come together. 

Usage times Many venues are used for both private events and seminars, which is why you should make sure to book the arrival and departure days in full so that you don't have to arrive late and leave early.
