Bijou Hotel Paris Boulogne is a three-star hotel in Boulogne-Billancourt that rents a modular meeting room, its bar and a courtyard patio for small business events. The meeting room takes up to 15 people in theater layout and 14 around a board table, and the privatized bar, room and patio together hold up to 30 guests standing.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers its meeting room for training sessions, management committees, workshops, brainstorming sessions, product launches, showrooms and team meetings. The room is quiet and bright, with several desks. Equipment includes a latest-generation LED touchscreen, projection, recording and video tools, secure high-speed Wi-Fi, flexible furniture, and paper and pens. Cleaning is handled by the hotel.
The room can be rented on its own for a full day (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.), for a half day (morning or afternoon), for an evening session on weekdays (7 p.m. to 11 p.m.) or for two hours. A study-day format adds a morning break, lunch and an afternoon break, with a meal tray or a partnership with outside restaurants. A residential format adds a bedroom and breakfast to the working day. The hotel quotes it on request from five people.
Teams that need less structure can also work from the lobby, the bar, the meeting room and the patio, which the hotel runs as a coworking area from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel's site describes one modular meeting room and does not give it a name. It works in three layouts: board (2 to 14 people), theater (2 to 15) and cocktail (15 to 30). For an afterwork, a cocktail party or a brainstorming session, the hotel can privatize the bar, the meeting room and the patio together. That setup takes up to 30 guests standing and 15 to 20 seated, indoors or in the patio. The site lists no larger room, so a group above 30 people should ask the hotel directly.
Accommodation
The hotel has five room categories: Solo (9 to 10 m²), Standard (12 to 14 m²), Superior (13 to 16 m²), Twin Superior (13 to 16 m²) and Family (18 to 20 m², for four people). Rooms have air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi and quality bedding, and they look onto the neighborhood or the inner patio. The site does not state the total number of rooms. A buffet breakfast is served every morning, from 7 a.m. on weekdays. Reception is bilingual and open around the clock.
Catering
Catering for meetings is provided on request. Study days can include a meal tray or lunch with partner restaurants nearby. The bar L'Écrin serves cocktails, wine, craft beer and fresh juice every day from 7 a.m. to midnight, inside or on the private terrace. A small buffet and a snack menu are available to coworkers.
History and setting
The hotel stands on Rue Victor Griffuelhes, a quiet street close to Avenue Victor Hugo, in the western part of Boulogne-Billancourt. The town is one of the main business districts of the Hauts-de-Seine, with offices and start-ups near Paris 16th, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Issy-les-Moulineaux and Saint-Cloud.
Getting there
The hotel is at 15 Rue Victor Griffuelhes, a short walk from Marcel Sembat station on metro line 9. The hotel states that the Eiffel Tower and central Paris are under 15 minutes away. Porte de Saint-Cloud station, next to the Parc des Princes, is one stop away. Public parking is available very close to the hotel.
