Fauchon L'Hôtel Paris hosts seminars, study days, business dinners and private receptions for 8 to 120 guests across four spaces on the Place de la Madeleine. The five-star hotel, at 4 boulevard Malesherbes in the 8th arrondissement, belongs to the Paris food house Fauchon, and its events are built around its own café and kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells full and half study days from 15 participants, as well as meetings, conferences, press events and business meals. Le Jardin des Thés is the working room: 70 square meters under natural overhead light, set in U for 15, cabaret for 20, double U for 25 or theatre for 30. For a small board meeting or a showroom, La Suite Madeleine offers 65 square meters with high ceilings and light on three sides. Year-end company dinners are a seasonal specialty, and the whole café and terrace can be privatised for them. When you send a request, say whether you need a screen or a sound system.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not present a wedding package. It does list birthdays, baptisms, proposals, family celebrations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, brunches and private receptions. For a large private dinner or cocktail, the café and terrace together are the biggest option.
Rooms and capacities
Le Grand Café Fauchon covers 250 square meters and seats 42 for dinner or takes 60 for a cocktail. La Terrasse, 200 square meters facing the Église de la Madeleine, seats 50 or holds 60 standing when fully privatised, or 20 when only the Madeleine side is reserved. Combined, café and terrace take 120 guests for a cocktail, the largest figure the hotel gives. Le Jardin des Thés seats 30 for dinner and 50 for a cocktail. La Suite Madeleine seats 8 for dinner and 10 for drinks.
Accommodation
The hotel has 54 keys: 33 rooms and 21 suites. That allows a small executive committee or the speakers of a conference to stay on site. A spa is open to guests.
Catering
Food comes from the hotel kitchen under chef Baptiste Limouzin, who mixes local produce with Fauchon classics. Formats run from breakfast and coffee breaks to lunch, tea time, brunch, cocktail and seated dinner, with three-course menus for private lunches and dinners. Year-end menus are offered through December.
History and setting
The Fauchon name has been tied to the Place de la Madeleine since the late nineteenth century, and the hotel sits on that square, opposite the church. The address puts groups within walking distance of the Opéra Garnier, the Grands Boulevards and the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which helps when a seminar ends with a dinner or an evening in town. The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
Getting there
The hotel is at 4 boulevard Malesherbes, 75008 Paris, on the Place de la Madeleine. Madeleine metro station serves the square, and Gare Saint-Lazare is a short walk north, with RER links to the business districts. Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports are reached by taxi or by RER and metro.
