Hôtel Le Cercle hosts seminars, training days and private receptions for up to about 190 people across four rooms, with 52 bedrooms upstairs for participants who stay overnight. The three-star hotel stands at 13 place de la République in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, between the town hall and the Chantereyne marina.
Seminars and company events
The main room, the Salle des officiers, covers 200 square meters and is the hotel's plenary space for conferences, presentations and large meetings. Three smaller rooms, from 35 to 70 square meters, take 10 to 35 people depending on the layout and work as breakout rooms or for a board meeting. Every room has a video projector, a screen and a flip chart, and participants find pens, notepads and mineral water on the tables. Wi-Fi is free and unlimited. A microphone is available on request, and the hotel also lists a piano. The location suits companies working with the industrial sites of the Cotentin: the Naval Group site in Cherbourg is under 15 minutes on foot, the Orano La Hague site about 25 minutes by car and the Flamanville EPR about 30 minutes by car.
Weddings and receptions
The rooms can be hired for private events, including weddings, a vin d'honneur after a ceremony, or a birthday party. The team adapts the setup to each request, from a small gathering in one of the meeting rooms to a larger party in the Salle des officiers.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle des officiers, 200 square meters, takes up to 160 guests according to the reception page, while the seminar brochure gives 190. It has daylight and looks onto the Basilica Sainte-Trinité and the gardens. The Salle des jardins (70 square meters), the Salle Business Corner (65 square meters, with a lounge area) and the Salle du Conseil (35 square meters) complete the offer. The rooms have been fully renovated and can be arranged in the layout the organiser chooses.
Accommodation
The hotel has 52 bedrooms, all with daylight, in four categories: Suites, Chic, Classique and Cosy. Depending on the room, windows face the marina, the basilica, Place Napoléon or the inner courtyard. Keeping participants on site saves transfers during a seminar of several days. The hotel is accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
Catering
Seminar breaks include hot drinks and a choice of fruit juices, with pastries on request. The hotel serves breakfast and room service, offers set evening meals for business travelers and has a bar. The site does not describe full seminar lunches or dinners, so organisers should ask what can be arranged.
History and setting
The hotel faces the town hall on Place de la République, in the center of Cherbourg, a short walk from the marina, Place Napoléon and the Basilica Sainte-Trinité. The town hosts sailing events through the year, such as the Drheam Cup, and the hotel follows them in its news pages. Vintage photographs of the square and the building appear on the hotel's site.
Getting there
Cherbourg train station is 1.5 kilometers away. Public transport, taxis and ride-hailing services serve the area, and public parking is close by. Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
