Best Western Plus Delta Park Hotel

From a cinema to an event venue with a special flair: after 95 eventful years, the Capitol has become an integral part of the city and the region. After our former managing director Thorsten Riehle brought the then disused cinema out of its desolate existence over 25 years ago, it now radiates across the entire Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. With a lot of passion, Riehle and his colleagues created a live and event house from the old Capitol cinema that offers entertainment to more than 130,000 people at around 300 events every year. We are proud that the name of our house is now inextricably linked to Mannheim, and we work every day on our special contribution to the cultural and social life of Mannheim and the region. 688 visitors take a seat on comfortable armchairs in our house. Without seating, the Capitol can accommodate a good 1,200 guests. With our theater stage in Casablanca, we have created a children's theater with space for 90 guests, both young and old. In addition, we have created another event room with the casino. Since September 2022, we have had a wonderful place to linger, eat and experience culture with the Limelight restaurant in the casino (tenant Britta Koch). Concerts and music shows, comedy and cabaret, company parties and company presentations, literature and occasionally politics enliven our listed building. This results in a varied program that we offer together with many partners.

The Kunsthalle Mannheim, opened as a museum in 1909, is one of the first citizens' collections of modern art in the world. Epoch-making key works of painting from Édouard Manet to Francis Bacon as well as an outstanding collection of sculptures from modern to contemporary art shape the museum's profile. In addition to outstanding art, visitors to the Kunsthalle Mannheim can look forward to impressive architecture: The historically grown complex on Mannheim's most beautiful square includes Herman Billing's Art Nouveau building from 1907 as well as the Hector building by the Hamburg office gmp, completed in 2017. As a city within a city, the Kunsthalle offers much more: With ProgramPlus, the Kunsthalle has created special event formats that revive the motto “Art for all” of the founding director Fritz Wichert in order to look at our present in a new way through art. From lively discussions to art history lectures, classical chamber concerts, performances and scientific symposia, there is something for everyone.
