Hôtel & Spa Vent d'Ouest can host a seminar or a meeting of up to 50 people theatre style in three modular rooms with natural daylight, with bedrooms, a spa and meals on site. The four-star hotel stands at 4 rue Caligny in the center of Le Havre, in the district rebuilt by Auguste Perret and listed by Unesco.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells seminars, training days and meetings for small and mid-sized groups. A dedicated groups and seminars manager handles requests, and a brochure of the rooms can be downloaded from the site. The team can arrange team-building with local providers: water and sports activities, cooking, hypnosis sessions, a murder party or an escape game. Teams staying overnight can end the working day at the spa, where hammam access is included for hotel guests. Honfleur and Étretat are about 25 minutes away by road, which makes a coastal outing easy to add to a two-day program.
Rooms and capacities
The three meeting rooms can be combined or used separately, and all receive daylight. The largest configuration takes up to 50 people theatre style. The meeting room is furnished with leather armchairs. The site does not give separate names or figures for other layouts, so organizers should ask for the room brochure for classroom, U-shape and boardroom numbers.
Accommodation
Bedrooms are on site in several categories: Escale, Club and Privilège doubles, family rooms and an apartment. Free WiFi covers rooms and lounges, room service is available, and each room has a tea and coffee tray. The site does not state the total number of bedrooms, which matters for residential seminars.
Catering
The hotel serves home cooking for groups in its lounges, and a tea room is open during the day. For a dinner away from the hotel, the team works with Les Enfants Sages, a restaurant a few minutes' walk away set in a former school.
History and setting
Vent d'Ouest was the first hotel opened by a family from Le Havre, who later added addresses in Honfleur, L'Alpe d'Huez and Étretat. Its neighborhood was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt to plans by Auguste Perret, whose concrete city center is now a Unesco World Heritage site. The hotel is a few minutes on foot from the sea and close to the shopping streets, so delegates can walk to the beach or the town between sessions. The Spa Nuxe offers treatments to guests and to outside visitors by booking.
Getting there
The hotel is in central Le Havre at 4 rue Caligny. Le Havre station has direct trains to Paris Saint-Lazare, and the hotel is a short taxi ride from it. By road, Honfleur and Étretat are about 25 minutes away. Check parking arrangements with the hotel before the event, since the site does not describe them.
