Seminars and company events
Hôtel Littéraire Alexandre Vialatte in Clermont-Ferrand hosts company seminars, conventions and training days for up to 80 people, and private receptions for 15 to 250 guests. The hotel stands at 16 place Delille, at the foot of the historic center and a short walk from the Basilica of Notre-Dame-du-Port.
The hotel has four seminar rooms, described as bright and adaptable. They can be used together for a plenary session or separately for workshops and breakout groups. Audio and video equipment can be hired on site. For business guests, the hotel organizes business breakfasts, business lunches and cocktail evenings, which makes it easy to build a full day around a meeting without leaving the building.
Parking for about 50 cars is available and free for seminar clients, a practical point in a city center where parking can be hard to find. For groups that stay overnight, the hotel can set aside around 30 twin rooms, a private lounge for meals and a welcome drink on arrival.
Weddings and receptions
Private rooms are available for receptions, weddings and similar events, with capacities from 15 to 250 guests. That range covers a family lunch after a civil ceremony at the town hall as well as a larger cocktail reception. The lounge bar and the rooftop terrace, with a 180-degree view over the city, add space for a drink before or after a dinner.
Rooms and capacities
The website gives overall figures rather than a room-by-room list: four seminar rooms for up to 80 people in meeting format, and private spaces for 15 to 250 guests for receptions. Ask the events team for the names, sizes and layouts of each room before planning a seating chart or a split between plenary and workshops.
Accommodation
The hotel has 62 bedrooms and a large apartment. With around 30 twin rooms available for groups, a delegation of about 60 people can stay on site during a seminar. The private lounge reserved for groups can serve meals to the delegation apart from other guests, which keeps a team together between sessions.
History and setting
The hotel belongs to the Hôtels Littéraires collection, in which each address is dedicated to a writer. This one honors Alexandre Vialatte, the author and columnist known for his chronicles in the regional newspaper La Montagne and for his French translations of Kafka. The literary theme gives a seminar a distinct identity and suits cultural, publishing or education groups.
Getting there
The hotel is in the center of Clermont-Ferrand, near the Notre-Dame-du-Port district, within walking distance of the old town. Clermont-Ferrand railway station and Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport serve the city. Seminar clients can park on site, and the commercial team at the hotel can send directions and parking access details.
