Hôtel des Congrès hosts seminars, training days, residential meetings and business lunches for 10 to 110 people, in ten daylit meeting rooms. The hotel stands on Place du Commandant Rivière in Villeurbanne, facing the Parc de la Tête d'Or, and has 132 bedrooms for delegates.
Seminars and company events
The hotel dedicates 360 square meters to professional events, spread over the ground floor and the seventh floor. Every meeting room has daylight. Several rooms combine in pairs, so one floor can host a plenary session in the morning and smaller workshops in the afternoon. The hotel does not publish fixed packages: it builds a custom offer for each request, including residential seminars with accommodation. Its position, a 10-minute walk from the Centre de Congrès de Lyon, also makes it a practical base for delegations attending a congress or trade show there.
Rooms and capacities
On the ground floor, Pin, Cèdre and Orme measure 25 square meters each and take 16 to 18 people in theatre style or 12 in a U-shape. Chêne and Lilas measure 50 square meters each and take 40 in theatre style. Combined, they form a 100 square meter room for up to 100 people in theatre style, 48 in classroom or 35 in a U-shape. On the seventh floor, Charme and Hêtre also measure 50 square meters each and seat 45 in theatre style. Together they form the largest plenary room, 100 square meters for 110 in theatre style, 52 in classroom or 45 in a U-shape. Érable and Magnolia, 31 square meters each, take 30 in theatre style, and Genet, 25 square meters, takes 18. The seventh floor offers a 340 square meter level with two terraces totaling 230 square meters, useful for breaks and cocktails with a view.
Accommodation
The hotel has 132 bedrooms on site, enough to lodge a full seminar group. Organizers can include rooms in the custom offer for a residential seminar.
Catering
The hotel handles catering for events, from a business lunch served in the meeting room to a closing cocktail. It also has a food corner and a bar for informal breaks.
History and setting
The hotel sits at the edge of the Parc de la Tête d'Or, the large urban park of Lyon, on the Villeurbanne side. The setting gives delegates green space for a walk between sessions while keeping them close to the Part-Dieu business district and the Cité Internationale, home of the convention center.
Getting there
The address is Place du Commandant Rivière, 69100 Villeurbanne. Lyon Part-Dieu, the main TGV station of Lyon, is close by, with direct high-speed trains from Paris and other French cities. The Centre de Congrès de Lyon is a 10-minute walk away. A private paid parking lot with video surveillance is available for guests and attendees.
