Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, is one of the biggest ports in Northern Europe. Its maritime heritage, its stunning architecture and its musical legacy are just some of the many charms of Hamburg. But this city is also home to the Deutsches Derby, the most important horse race in Germany, which takes place every year in July.
The Deutsches Derby is not only about competition: attendees from all over Europe gather together to enjoy the excitement of races, delight in beautiful Hamburg and conduct networking. And it all takes place in an amazing building: the Horner Rennbahn: it’s the oldest racecourse in Germany, opened in 1855. With capacity for 50,000 spectators, the current building dates back to 1912. The whole site is amazing: not only the historical racecourse, that recalls Imperial Germany, but the surroundings too, with picturesque landscapes.
Well, this is the scene where the four-stars hotel NH Hamburg Horner Rennbahn stands. Just imagine your attendees attending a conference in a modern venue flooded with natural light and incredible views of the racecourse. Perhaps some of your attendees are staying? Then they will delight in the sweeping views, overlooking the horse-racing track while they relax in hotel rooms.
Planning an event in NH Hamburg Horner Rennbahn is full of possibilities. Our team of professionals will be happy to help and provide you with all the information you need about the racecourse schedule, in case you’d like to invite your attendees to a race. You can also plan a visit to this historical site. If your attendees are not into horse racing, the Horner Rennbahn features a mini golf: the perfect place to host teambuilding activities. There are also football and basketball courts… And a skating ring? Yes! Your attendees will have lots of fun for sure. We also have a bike rental ready for your attendees, so they can ride across the nearby park and enjoy the landscapes while they disconnect from their sessions.
Here are some key pointers about this hotel to keep in mind:
Our meeting rooms are functional and versatile, so they can adapt to your requests. They feature natural light and the latest technological equipment. For a cocktail, we recommend the hotel lounge or the open-air terrace, especially during the summer. The sunsets are memorable, so why don’t you invite your attendees to watch the sun go down on the terrace, with a lovely drink to sip on?
The icing of the cake might be the catering: we cater the Deutsches Derby, so imagine the delicacies our Tempting Breaks could offer your attendees. As always, we can customize our menu for you.
