Seminars for up to 120 participants, study days and residential meetings with sea views make up the event offer of Hôtel & Spa Le Nouveau Monde, a hotel of 83 rooms on the Sillon seafront in Saint-Malo, Brittany. Eight meeting rooms, a restaurant of 120 covers and a sea-water jet pool sit within the same building, a little over two hours from Paris by direct TGV.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells three formats. The study day includes a welcome break, the meeting room, two breaks and lunch, from 10 participants. The semi-residential package adds a night with breakfast, one lunch or dinner and access to the sea-water jet pool, while the residential package includes both lunch and dinner. Breaks follow a classic line with coffee and pastries, a sweet line such as a Breton or a wellness break, or a savory line with a seaside break or a kir or champagne aperitif. To break up a working day, the team can arrange a tour of Saint-Malo, a sailing trip, windsurfing or kite buggy sessions on the beach, an aquatonic course or a thalassotherapy and spa program.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists eight meeting rooms, four of them modular, for a total of about 350 square meters and up to 120 people. The seminar page describes a modular space of 210 square meters with movable partitions that holds 120 theatre style, plus three smaller rooms that serve as breakout rooms. All rooms have daylight and blackout blinds. Equipment includes a 2 by 3 meter screen, a video projector, audio and video systems, a paperboard and Wi-Fi, with water and stationery on the tables. A lectern, microphones, a printer and a scanner are available on request.
Accommodation
The 83 rooms average 27 square meters and face either the sea or the south side. The spa has two treatment rooms, a jet pool with a swim lane and a south-facing solarium. The hammam is currently unavailable.
Catering
Les 7 Mers, the hotel restaurant, seats 120 and looks out over the bay. Its cooking draws on local produce and seafood with influences from around the world. Seminar menus come in three levels: Évasion, Caravelle and Gourmet. Le Comptoir, the bar, also has a panoramic view of the bay, which suits an evening drink after a plenary session.
History and setting
The hotel faces the beach along the Chaussée du Sillon, the long seafront that links the walled city of Saint-Malo to the districts to the east. Rooms on the sea side look over the bay, and the beach lies just across the promenade, which makes outdoor activities easy to schedule between sessions. The walled city itself is close enough for a guided walk at the end of the day.
Getting there
The address is 64 Chaussée du Sillon, 35400 Saint-Malo. Direct TGV trains from Paris take about 2 hours 15 minutes. The hotel gives two distances to Saint-Malo station, 800 meters and 2 kilometers, so check the transfer when planning arrivals.
