Côté Océan can host residential seminars, study days, management committees, team weekends, company meals and family gatherings. The plenary room takes up to 85 people, the restaurant seats 90, and the 137 bedrooms in 56 houses sleep up to 204 participants in single beds. The hotel stands at 18 avenue de Châtelaillon in Angoulins, about ten kilometers from La Rochelle and 200 meters from the beach.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells a residential seminar over one, two or three days, with the room, breaks, meals and accommodation in an individual or shared house. A study day without accommodation includes the equipped room, breaks and lunch at the bistro. Team weekends and works council stays combine accommodation, meals, activities and an evening on site, mostly out of season. The meeting rooms can also be hired for a half day or a day, with welcome coffee and lunch as options.
Team building is arranged with partners: water sports, cycling on the Vélodyssée route, trips to the islands and local heritage.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are accepted all year except July, August and some school holiday periods. The hotel also hosts family reunions, birthdays, golden anniversaries and christenings, often over a weekend with one house per family. The restaurant or the seminar space can be hired for a private evening, which can run until 1 am, or until 3 am with a supplement depending on the season. The chef can make the cake, or you can bring your own. Decoration is free once approved by the team, and a brunch can be served the next day. Couples marrying on the Île de Ré or around La Rochelle in a venue without rooms can lodge their guests here.
