Hôtel États-Unis Opéra offers a meeting room for up to 30 people, equipped for seminars, workshops and board meetings, together with 45 bedrooms for participants who stay overnight. The family-run four-star hotel stands at 16 rue d'Antin in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, about 300 meters from Place de l'Opéra, in the Opéra business district.
Seminars and company events
The hotel describes its meeting room as versatile and says it holds up to 30 people. It has a screen, a video projector and high-speed Wi-Fi, which covers presentations, training sessions and small workshops. The room suits short formats for a team or a client group: a morning briefing, a half-day workshop or a recruitment day. Groups above 30 will need a different venue, or can split the program between this room and other spaces in the neighborhood.
A welcome buffet can be arranged for arrival, with coffee, tea, artisanal pastries, fruit juices and mineral water. The hotel invites organisers to send a request for information with the date, the number of participants and the format they have in mind.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives one figure for events: up to 30 people in the meeting room. It does not publish a layout grid, a floor area or a list of room names, so ask the hotel which seating plans are possible (theater, classroom, U-shape or boardroom) before you confirm.
Accommodation
The hotel has 45 bedrooms, ranging from spacious rooms to economical singles. All of them are lit by natural light, and they look onto the street or, for some, onto a quiet inner courtyard. For a seminar of up to 30 participants, 45 bedrooms leave room for the whole group and a few additional guests, subject to availability.
Catering
The hotel serves a buffet breakfast with homemade hot and cold dishes. The Buckingham Bar, open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:45 PM to 1:30 AM, serves whisky and cocktails in a setting of wood paneling and leather seating, and can be entered from the hotel or directly from rue Saint-Augustin. It gives a place for an informal evening after a day of meetings. Ask the hotel what catering it can supply for lunch or dinner during a meeting day.
History and setting
The Lahondès family has run the hotel for three generations. Lucien Lahondès bought the building in 1947 to open a hotel, his son Jean-Marc took over in 1980, and Jean-Marc now runs it with his son Romain. The hotel is located on a quiet street in the Opéra district, about 850 meters from the Louvre and about 600 meters from Galeries Lafayette.
Getting there
Place de l'Opéra is a five-minute walk, with the Opéra métro station (lines 3, 7 and 8) and the Auber RER A station close by. The Gare Saint-Lazare is reachable on foot in about ten minutes.
