Hôtel Château de la Tour hosts residential seminars, study days, incentives, business meals and family events. Its five air-conditioned meeting rooms, from 40 to 100 m², take up to 80 people theatre style or 90 at a cocktail, and 32 bedrooms sit on the same site. The three-star hotel stands in a 3-hectare park at Béguey, on the edge of Cadillac, in Gironde, about 30 minutes from Bordeaux.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells three formats. The study day, from five participants, includes a welcome coffee, two breaks, lunch with wine and the equipped room. The classic residential package adds a bedroom, dinner and breakfast. The prestige residential package adds a visit of the hotel's troglodyte cellar with a tasting, a cocktail and a gastronomic dinner with a blind wine tasting. Rooms come with a paperboard, screen, video projector, wifi, water and stationery.
The meeting rooms have large bay windows that open onto the terrace and the park. Two 50 m² rooms, Montaigne and Epernon, join through a movable wall to form one 100 m² room. A team-building catalog lists activities on site or nearby, such as cellar visits in surrounding wine châteaux or a quad outing.

History and setting
The park occupies the former kitchen garden of the Château de Cadillac, the ducal château of the Dukes of Epernon, and looks onto it. Cadillac is a bastide town founded in 1280 on the right bank of the Garonne, at the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers and close to the Sauternes and Saint-Émilion vineyards.

From Bordeaux, take the A62 toward Toulouse, exit 2 Cadillac-Podensac, then follow signs for Cadillac. Cérons station is a five-minute drive, and a Sud Gironde bus line stops opposite the hotel. Bordeaux Saint-Jean, with its TGV services, is 30 minutes away and Bordeaux airport 40 minutes. The park has a private helipad.
