Hôtel & Spa Le Lion d'Or can host meetings, training days and residential seminars for 2 to 50 people in three rooms, with 25 bedrooms and a spa in the same building. The hotel is a former coaching inn from 1820 at 8 place Saint-Mélaine in Pont-l'Évêque, in the Pays d'Auge in Normandy, about 15 minutes from Deauville.
Seminars and company events
The three seminar rooms can be set up theatre style, as a U, in classroom style, as a single block or for a cocktail. They come with screens, a video projector, a flip chart, stationery and power strips, with a microphone and a lectern on request. Free high-speed Wi-Fi, photocopying, bottled water and a coffee machine are provided, and the hotel supports hybrid meetings with remote participants. The day can include a morning coffee, a 10 a.m. break, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. Business lunches and dinners can be served as a buffet, and the restaurant room can be reserved for the group. For teams on the road, the hotel also sells overnight business stays and evening stopovers that combine dinner, room and breakfast, with spa access as an option. A coworking formula is available by the half day.
Rooms and capacities
Prestige, 95 m², is the largest room. Ambiance Spa measures 60 m² and Normande 35 m². The hotel quotes groups of up to 50 people. The website does not give a capacity for each layout, so confirm numbers per room when you request a quote.
Accommodation
The 25 bedrooms, including 5 suites, are spread over two floors around an inner courtyard, with a gallery on the first floor. Categories range from traditional rooms and duplex rooms to canopy rooms of 40 to 45 m² and themed suites such as Nuage et Coton, Glamour, Rouge et Noir and 1001 Nuits, some with a private jacuzzi. A seminar group of about 20 can therefore sleep on site.
Catering
The restaurant, Ô Resto, serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with quick service available for groups. The breakfast buffet runs from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Business lunches are served for groups of 8 or more when booked in advance.
History and setting
The building was a coaching inn, and it keeps the layout of that time, with the rooms facing a central courtyard at the entrance to the town. The spa, open to hotel guests and outside visitors, has a relaxation pool, treatment rooms including rooms for two, and private jacuzzi options. It can be booked privately for a group, which gives a seminar a shared moment without leaving the hotel. Deauville, Honfleur and the Côte Fleurie are close by for an evening outing or a team activity.
Getting there
The A13 motorway exit for Deauville and Honfleur is about 5 minutes away, Paris is under 2 hours by road, and Rouen, Caen and Le Havre are about 45 minutes away. Free private parking is available at the hotel. Pont-l'Évêque also has a railway station on the line from Paris to Trouville-Deauville.
