Hôtel du Mail hosts meetings, training sessions, management committees, team building and afterworks for up to 28 people, and can be hired as a whole for a residential seminar with its 25 bedrooms. The hotel occupies a fully renovated 17th-century convent on rue des Ursules, a quiet street in the center of Angers.
Seminars and company events
The hotel's seminar offer is built around the half day. A study half day includes the room, a projection screen, a paperboard, Bluetooth speakers, notepads, pens and water, plus an afternoon break with fresh juice, tea, coffee and pastries. Dry room hire for a half day is also possible. Afternoon sessions can start from 1 p.m., and either formula can be combined with an afterwork in the wine bar. Residential seminars, private events and group celebrations are quoted on request, and every package can be adjusted.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar room takes 12 people in classroom layout, 14 in a U shape, 16 in boardroom style and 28 in small groups around islands. That makes the hotel a fit for executive committees, workshops and team training rather than plenary sessions. For larger gatherings, the Angers Congress Centre is close by.
Accommodation
The 25 bedrooms are each decorated differently and have a shower or bathtub. They break down into 2 single rooms, 5 small doubles, 8 classic rooms, 7 superior rooms that can be set as twins, 2 triples, 1 family room for four and a 65-square-meter apartment for six under the roof beams. A team of around 30 to 40 can therefore stay together, and the whole hotel can be privatized.
Catering
There is no restaurant. Breakfast is a buffet served in a dining room with patterned wallpaper and wood paneling, and room service runs from late morning to the evening. The wine bar, open from noon to 11 p.m., serves a selection of white, red and sparkling wines with tapas and cheese or charcuterie boards. Afterwork packages combine the wine selection with snacks and boards, served inside or on the terrace.
History and setting
The building was a convent in the 17th century and has been renovated with period ceilings, moldings and bold wallpapers. Its gravel courtyard is shaded by a linden tree more than a century old, with garden furniture that turns it into an outdoor bar area in fine weather. The hotel describes itself as a calm and discreet address, well suited to meetings that need concentration.
Getting there
The hotel is at 8 rue des Ursules, 49100 Angers. Angers Saint-Laud station, served by TGV from Paris, is about 15 minutes away on foot, as is the Château d'Angers. The Angers Congress Centre is in the immediate neighborhood, which makes the hotel practical for speakers and delegates attending a larger event.
