BER has venues for small meetings and large events. A published maximum is only an initial filter: it depends on seating, room combinations, technical equipment and the safety plan.
Suggested hotels
The Booking links are for overnight stays. Request meeting rooms and event packages directly from the hotel.

Van der Valk publishes events for up to 1,500 people. Its official pages give different room counts, so we do not use that count as a selection criterion.
How to choose
Request a direct proposal for the date, attendance and seating plan. Specify technical equipment, catering, setup, accommodation and travel profile. Have the hotel confirm which room achieves the quoted capacity.
Terminal hotels reduce transfers for rail and air travellers. Properties farther away may suit large formats or drivers. Package and room prices change, so they belong in the individual proposal rather than a permanent comparison table.
Frequently asked questions on this topic
Which BER conference hotel has the largest capacity?
Holiday Inn publishes formats for up to 1,000 people and Van der Valk up to 1,500. Usable capacity depends on the room, seating, equipment and safety plan. Request a proposal for your specific format.
Which conference hotels are at the terminal?
Steigenberger and IntercityHotel Berlin Airport BER are at Terminal 1. This reduces transfers for rail and air travellers but does not replace a comparison of rooms and proposals.
What should a conference request contain?
Specify the date, attendance, seating, equipment, catering, setup, accommodation and travel profile. Have the hotel confirm the room, capacity and total price in writing.
