Seminars, incentive trips and gala dinners for up to 200 guests can be organized at Hôtel La Chaudanne, a hotel in the center of Méribel, in the Les 3 Vallées ski area in Savoie. Meeting spaces run from 30 to 190 square meters, 64 rooms and suites are on site, and two connected hotels add beds for larger groups.
Seminars and company events
La Chaudanne sells seminars and company events in winter and in summer. Its meeting spaces are modular and range from 30 to 190 square meters. The hotel lists six possible layouts: U-shape, assembly, classroom, boardroom table, banquet and cocktail. This covers a board meeting for a dozen people as well as a plenary session for a full sales team.
The events team takes requests by number of participants, number of days and arrival date. In summer the hotel also welcomes seminars in a green mountain setting, including groups traveling from place to place. Activities can be built around the resort: skiing in Les 3 Vallées in winter, hiking and cycling in summer, with a ski shop and a bike shop inside the hotel. The hotel has received two Flocons Verts, a label for sustainable mountain resorts awarded to Méribel.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting rooms cover 30 to 190 square meters and adapt to each layout. For evenings, the Le 80 brasserie takes up to 200 guests for gala dinners, banquets and cocktail parties with a DJ and lighting. The bar of La Chaudanne serves for smaller receptions and breaks between sessions. The exact capacity of each meeting room is available from the events team.
Accommodation
The hotel has 64 rooms and suites from 14 to 57 square meters. Standard rooms take one to three people, family rooms three to five and suites two to four. For larger groups, La Chaudanne connects indoors to two partner hotels: Le Kaïla, a five-star hotel, and L'Eterlou, a three-star hotel. A group can therefore stay across three hotels without going outside.
The wellness area includes a Nuxe spa with treatments and massages, a water area, a fitness room and a hair salon. A kids' club run with LEGO is on site, which helps for family incentive trips.
Catering
Meals are prepared in-house. Le 80 is the brasserie and the main venue for group dinners. L'Ekrin, the gastronomic restaurant located in Le Kaïla and run by chef Laurent Azoulay, is described by the hotel as the only starred restaurant in Méribel. Breakfast and room service complete the offer.
History and setting
The owners cite 50 years of hotel experience in the mountains. La Chaudanne stands at 88 rue des Jeux Olympiques, in the heart of the resort, close to the shops and lifts of Méribel. Méribel itself lies in the commune of Les Allues, in the middle of Les 3 Vallées, one of the largest linked ski areas in the Alps.
