Seminars and company events
Disney Newport Bay Club hosts seminars, conventions and product launches for 60 to 1,500 people in its own convention center, one of the two that Business Solutions by Disneyland Paris runs on the resort. The hotel stands on the shore of Lake Disney in Chessy, east of Paris, a short walk from the parks and from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station.
The convention center covers 4,600 square meters under the same roof as the bedrooms, so delegates go from their room to the plenary without stepping outside. The Business Solutions team handles conventions, day meetings, team activities and private evenings, with its own designers, technicians and producers. Audiovisual packages are sold with the rooms. For a one-day format, the resort offers study-day packages.
Rooms and capacities
The Grand Ballroom is the main hall: 1,770 square meters for up to 1,500 guests, which can be divided into six separate rooms for parallel sessions. Portland, at the heart of the center, adds 2,000 square meters suited to plenaries, exhibitions and workshops, with 14 meeting rooms of 44 to 70 square meters. Across the center, up to 20 modular rooms serve as breakout and sub-committee rooms, from 25 to 137 square meters, for 8 to 140 people depending on the layout. A foyer of 1,039 square meters takes registration, coffee breaks and partner stands. A floor plan is available from the team.
Accommodation
The hotel is a four-star property designed as a 1920s New England coastal manor with a nautical theme. Rooms come in superior and cozy categories; the official site does not give a total count. Guests have indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a hammam and a fitness center, which suits two- or three-day programs where delegates stay on site.
Catering
Meals come from the resort's own chefs, who run more than 76 catering points across the hotels, Disney Village and the parks. Lunches and dinners can be served at the table, as a buffet or as a cocktail, with set or custom menus ranging from French and international to gastronomic and organic. Coffee breaks include pastries, fruit, tea, coffee and juice. In the hotel, the Yacht Club restaurant serves New England dishes with Mediterranean touches, Cape Cod offers an international buffet, and the Captain's Quarters Bar works for a drink before dinner.
History and setting
The hotel opened in 1992 with the resort. Its lakeside facade, regatta-themed bar and nautical interiors give an event a clear identity that a standard conference hotel lacks. Team activities and private evenings elsewhere on the resort can be booked through the same team, so a seminar can end with a dinner or a party without changing supplier.
Getting there
Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station, served by RER and TGV trains, is a few minutes on foot from the hotels. Paris is about 30 minutes by car on the A4 motorway, exit 14. From Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, the TGV takes about 10 minutes, with 22 round trips a day, and VEA shuttles reach the resort from Charles de Gaulle and from Orly in about 35 minutes. Hotel parking is kept for resident guests; day participants use the paid visitor car parks, the station car park or Disney Village.
