Seminars and company events
Aquabella Hôtel & Spa can host a seminar for up to 220 people in theatre layout, a board meeting for eight, or a two-day residential conference with 112 bedrooms on site. The hotel stands in the center of Aix-en-Provence, on Rue des Étuves, a short walk from Cours Mirabeau and the old town.
The event floor brings together nine rooms over about 1,000 square meters. The largest, Sextius-B, takes 220 guests in theatre layout or for a cocktail and 100 in classroom. Together with Sextius-A it forms the Espace Sextius, the hotel's main space for plenary sessions and private parties. Seven mid-size rooms work as breakout rooms for workshops of 20 to 90 people, and Albertas, at 18 square meters, suits an interview or a small board meeting. Quotes and room plans are handled by the events team of the Partouche group, which owns the hotel.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel takes weddings, birthdays, christenings, communions, bar mitzvahs and private parties. Sextius-B alone seats 180 for a banquet, and guests can stay overnight in rooms overlooking the garden or the old town.

Accommodation
The hotel has 112 rooms and suites, split between Confort and Privilège categories and four Belvédère suites. Hotel guests have free access to the Spa Sensoriel, with a heated outdoor pool open in the warm months, and the Thermes Sextius spa next door is reached directly from the hotel. From Easter weekend through August 31, the hotel accepts only guests aged 16 and over, which matters for family events.
Catering
L'Orangerie, the hotel restaurant, serves Mediterranean bistronomic cooking and a Sunday brunch buffet, and its bar opens every day from 4 pm to midnight. For events the kitchen prepares breakfasts, coffee breaks, buffets, seated lunches and dinners, cocktail receptions and banquets.
History and setting
The hotel sits on the edge of the historic center, beside the thermal springs that gave Aix its Roman name, Aquae Sextiae. Several meeting rooms carry names tied to the town, such as Sextius, Bellegarde and Miollis. The old town, its markets and its fountains are a few minutes away on foot, which makes evening walks easy to fit into a program.
Getting there
Aix-en-Provence TGV station is 17 km away and Marseille Provence Airport 27 km. The A8 and A51 motorways pass close to the city, and Marseille is about 20 minutes by road. A public car park with 120 spaces lies about 50 meters from the hotel.
