Seminars for 10 to 150 people across nine meeting rooms, with 95 bedrooms between two neighboring hotels, make up the offer of Hôtel Carlina in the upper part of La Clusaz, a ski resort in the Aravis range of Haute-Savoie. The meeting rooms are in Hôtel Beaulieu, run alongside the Carlina, and guests of both hotels share a covered pool and a spa.
Seminars and company events
The nine meeting rooms vary in size and can be combined, so the same building can host a committee of ten or a plenary session of 150. All have natural daylight. Each table is set with still and sparkling water, pencils and paper, and the rooms come with a paperboard, markers and a white screen. A projector and a sound system can be rented on request. Coffee breaks are served in the main lounge of the hotel, in a classic, a Savoyard or an indulgent version. The team can add activities for groups. In winter these include night skiing or snowshoe outings, igloo building, a dinner at altitude followed by a sled descent, ski joring and a trapper challenge. In summer the list covers wildlife and flora walks, paragliding, team olympiads, orienteering, an introduction to mountain biking and via ferrata. Quotes are requested through a dedicated seminar form.
Rooms and capacities
The site states nine modular rooms holding from 10 to 150 people, with several possible layouts. It does not publish room names, sizes or capacities per layout, so organizers should ask for a floor plan with their brief.
Accommodation
Hôtel Carlina has 39 rooms and Hôtel Beaulieu has 56, many of them with views over the mountains or the village. A private apartment, the Appartement Privilège, is also offered. Wi-Fi is free throughout. Guests of both hotels can use the covered pool at the Carlina, which opens onto a garden in summer, and the spa with sauna, hammam, a small gym and treatment rooms. The hotels do not accept pets.
Catering
The Carlina restaurant opens only during certain winter periods, and the site does not detail seminar lunches or dinners, so meal arrangements should be confirmed when booking. A bar and lounge with a terrace is available at the Carlina, and the Beaulieu also has a bar, a lounge and a terrace.
History and setting
Hôtel Beaulieu, a wood-clad building, opened in 1962, and Hôtel Carlina followed in 1967. Both belong to the period when La Clusaz grew into a winter sports resort, after the Beauregard cable car was built in 1955. The village, first reached by a road to the Col des Aravis in 1902, still holds a weekly market every Monday morning around the church square.
Getting there
The hotels stand at 138 chemin des Éboulis, in the upper part of the resort, about 400 meters from the alpine ski slopes. The Carlina holds the Accueil Vélo label for cyclists, which helps for summer programs that include road or mountain biking.
