Welcome Hotel
Meschede
The Welcome Hotel Meschede beautifully captures the timeless charm of the 1950s. Originally opened in 1953 to house workers during the construction of the Henne Dam, the hotel quickly evolved into a popular retreat, known for its vibrant dance balls and welcoming tour groups.
As the popularity of dance balls began to fade, the hotel eventually closed its doors in 1997. However, in 1998, Mr. Albert Cramer, owner of Warsteiner brewery and a passionate admirer of the 1950s, recognised the hotel's historical significance. He carefully restored the property, preserving its original charm. Today, the hotel is listed as a historical monument with the few remaining buildings of its kind. Guests can still immerse themselves in its authentic atmosphere, and even take part in a game of bowling in the original 1950s-style bowling alley.
Ideally situated along the tranquil shores of Lake Henne and just a five-minute drive from Meschede city centre, our location allows guests to explore the beauty of Sauerland. Wander through scenic hiking paths that wind through forests and meadows, cycle along local trails, or immerse yourself in the diverse attractions the region has to offer. After a day of adventure, indulge in exquisite culinary delights at our restaurants, unwind in our cosy bar, or relax in the inviting ambiance of our beer garden during the warmer months.
Our hotel also provides an exceptional setting for celebrations, offering breathtaking lake views amidst the natural beauty of Sauerland. For business travellers, we offer a range of versatile meeting rooms, perfectly equipped to meet all your conference and event needs.
