The Hôtel & Spa Napoléon in Fontainebleau hosts seminars, meetings, study days, company events and group meals for up to 99 people. The four-star hotel stands at 9 rue Grande, a few steps from the Château de Fontainebleau, and combines an on-site meeting room with two larger rooms inside the château itself.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells half-day and full-day study formats, with welcome coffee, gourmet breaks, a three-course lunch, a lunchtime cocktail, an aperitif at the bar, a group dinner or a full privatization of the hotel. Privatization is quoted on request, according to the format and the number of participants. Quotes go through the sales team, which the hotel lists on its seminar page.
The on-site room is the Salon Empreinte, a modular space of 80 m² with step-free access. It is equipped with two wall screens with HDMI connection, unlimited Wi-Fi, essential meeting equipment and a coffee machine. It can be set up in U shape, theater, classroom or boardroom layout, which suits workshops, steering committees and training sessions.
Rooms and capacities
For larger groups, the hotel offers two rooms inside the Château de Fontainebleau, about two minutes on foot from its Hôtel de Cavoye. The Salle Fontainebleau covers 110 m² and holds up to 99 people in classroom, U, banquet, theater or cocktail layouts. The Salle Blandy covers 50 m² and holds up to 15 people in a U layout, a good fit for small committees. Both rooms provide a flipchart, a screen or video projector, fiber-secured Wi-Fi and custom signage.
Accommodation
The hotel has 45 bedrooms and 10 suites, which makes 55 in all. It is a former stagecoach relay, renovated, with marble bathrooms. A residential seminar can therefore sleep a team on site and walk to the château rooms for the working day. A buffet breakfast is served at Le Cadran every morning.
Catering
Le Cadran is the hotel's bistro, open for lunch and dinner with a terrace in fine weather. The Bar des Secrets serves cocktails, hot drinks, sharing plates and pastries made in-house from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Group formulas for aperitifs, lunches, dinners and cocktails are listed on the seminar page. The Cinq Mondes spa, with an indoor pool, sauna and hammam, can complete a residential program, with treatments booked in advance.
History and setting
The hotel sits in the center of Fontainebleau, in a building with a Napoleonic theme that earlier served as a coach stop. The town is known for its château and forest, which gives a seminar a setting away from the office while staying close to Paris.
Getting there
Fontainebleau lies in Seine-et-Marne, south of Paris. The hotel is in the town center, within walking distance of the château. Guests arriving by train use the Fontainebleau-Avon station and continue by bus or taxi into town.
