State-of-the-art technology, new room concepts and more simplicity – Germany’s conference hotels have proven to be innovation leaders in the Corona crisis through several redesign measures.
For Reinhard Peter, managing director of the German service company repecon (repecon.de), personally managed conference hotels are setting new venue standards for the entire industry. "In the pandemic, personally managed meeting hotels have proven their true strengths: mutability and the power to innovate." In this article, he explains some examples of forward-thinking projects implemented during the Corona crisis.
According to Peter, the most innovative meeting room redesigns range from cutting-edge technology to new simplicity. At the Hotel Esplanade Dortmund, for example, a New Work Lab was implemented with a VR area and green screen for hybrid meeting formats. The conference hotel "Gut Hühnerhof" has designed three new themed rooms, including a classic "school classroom" with blackboard, sponge, wiper and food in lunch boxes. Another example is the Parkhotel Landau – it combines industrial style with high-tech in the creative room "Steve’s Garage".
The "Giebinger Forst" meeting room in Schloss Hohenkammer (Hohenkammer Castle) offers a very special setting, according to Reinhard Peter. Two meeting rooms have been transformed into a forest setting: surrounded by woods from the hotel’s own forest, the guests experience a highly functional yet sensually appealing, inspiring space for hybrid meeting formats with interactive weframe session boards, film cameras and a control room for streaming.
Peter also cites the "Event Hotel Schönbuch" as an outstanding example of versatility. There, the wellness area was transformed into a "room chameleon" that can be used as an escape room, fancy restaurant or party room.
