Residential seminars, team-building trips and group stays can be organized at the Carlit Hôtel, a 55-room hotel in the center of Font-Romeu, in the eastern Pyrenees. It has four equipped meeting rooms, a restaurant that can be reserved for groups, and access to a 300-seat amphitheater 100 meters away for larger plenary sessions.
Seminars and company events
The seminar offer pairs work sessions with mountain activities. The four meeting rooms come with a paperboard, notepads, a room microphone, a video projector and free Wi-Fi, and other equipment can be supplied on request. Client photos show both theater and U-shape layouts. For a convention or a plenary that outgrows the hotel, a 300-seat amphitheater 100 meters from the building can be rented. Seminar packages include breaks, and multi-night stays come with breakfast, so a three-day program can run from arrival to departure at one address.
Team-building programs change with the season. The hotel lists a Snow Challenge, a Nordic Challenge, a Mountain and Seminar Experience, a survival and hiking workshop, a challenge workshop and a Sun and Seminar program built around a via ferrata. Activities include skiing, biathlon, sled dogs, canyoning, climbing and hiking, and the team can build a custom program on request.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel has four meeting rooms. The site does not give their individual capacities or floor areas, so the number of participants per room should be checked when planning. The amphitheater nearby seats 300. The El Foc dining room, decorated in a winter mountain style, hosts group meals and can be reserved for a private group.
Accommodation
The 55 rooms include doubles of 17 to 22 square meters, twins of 16 to 25 square meters, superior duplex doubles of 25 to 29 square meters, triples of 21 to 28 square meters and family rooms of 25 to 32 square meters for up to four people. Some superior and triple rooms have a balcony facing the Pyrenees. Guests can use a jacuzzi and a sauna, booked in advance. The hotel is open all year, with reception staffed from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The older building has changes of level that make wheelchair access impossible, which matters for some groups.
Catering
Breakfast is served as a buffet, and half board with dinner is available. Group meals take place in the El Foc restaurant, which can be reserved for the group on request.
Getting there
The hotel stands at 8 avenue d'Espagne in the center of Font-Romeu, 150 meters from the gondola and the start of the hiking trails. Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via station lies on the Train Jaune line through the Cerdagne, and Perpignan, with its airport and its main rail station, is about two hours away by road.
