Hôtel L'Esturgeon takes seminars, training days, team meetings and business lunches for groups of 2 to 55 people, in a seminar room on the river with bedrooms and a restaurant in the same house. The hotel stands at 6 Cours du 14 Juillet in Poissy, in the Yvelines, on the bank of the Seine and a short walk from the town center.
Seminars and company events
The seminar room sits below the restaurant, close to the Seine. It faces west and takes plenty of light. It comes with an overhead projector, a large LCD screen and a paperboard with markers, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the building. Rooms are hired by the full day or the half day, and services are added à la carte rather than sold as a fixed package, which suits a team that wants to build its own program.
The seminar room, the restaurant and the hotel can each be privatized, alone or together. A company can take the whole house for a day of work followed by dinner and a night on site. Organizers contact the hotel by email to set up an event.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar room holds from 2 to 55 people, which covers anything from a small committee to a full department. The restaurant has a dining room overlooking the river and can host a group meal after the session or a private dinner. A terrace with a view of the Seine gives the group a place for breaks in good weather.
Accommodation
Bedrooms upstairs are designed in a contemporary style. Guests also have a jacuzzi and a gym. The hotel is open around the clock, every day, which helps for late arrivals the night before a session.
Catering
Chefs Olivier and Morgan Gremillet, both Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, design menus to order for seminar groups. Meals are served in the restaurant or directly in the seminar room. The restaurant closes on Thursdays and Sunday evenings, and the whole house closes for the month of August, so plan dates around that.
History and setting
The inn takes its name from an episode of 1839. Its owner at the time, Monsieur Hommery, pulled a sturgeon of nearly 100 kg from his nets under the old stone bridge and renamed the inn in its honor. Olivier Gremillet cooked here for fifteen years before he and his wife bought the house, which the family runs today.
Getting there
Poissy station, served by RER A and line J, is 100 m away, and central Paris and La Défense are about 20 minutes by train. By road, the A13 and A14 motorways are close, which makes the hotel easy to reach from the west of Paris.
