Seminars for up to 60 people in theatre layout, banquets for 77, standing receptions for 90 and weddings can be organized at Hôtel & Spa La Villa K, a 41-room hotel with a spa at 1 rue de Lectoure in Saint-Louis, Alsace. The town sits on the French side of the border with Basel, so a group from Switzerland, Germany or France can meet here within minutes of EuroAirport.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells complete seminars: meeting room, meals, accommodation and logistics, handled by one team. Two rooms, Lectoure and Gambrinus, are on the ground floor, air-conditioned and fully equipped, and they can be joined into one larger room. Equipment includes round or rectangular tables, a video projector, a flip chart, Wi-Fi and a Nespresso machine, with a computer and printer on request. Being at ground level, the rooms are accessible for people with reduced mobility and suit a small exhibition or product display. A quiet terrace in the hotel courtyard gives space for breaks. Participants have access to the private spa, and the hotel runs a 24/7 shuttle to the airport, which helps when delegates arrive on different flights.
Weddings and receptions
La Villa K also hosts weddings and private receptions in the same rooms, with a capacity of 77 for a seated dinner and 90 for a standing reception when the two rooms are combined. Wedding guests can stay in the hotel's 41 bedrooms, and the courtyard terrace can host a drinks reception.

Meals are served by Le Bistrot La Cave, the hotel's bistro, which cooks fresh, seasonal, homemade food. For groups it offers Alsatian aperitifs with crémant d'Alsace and tarte flambée, hot and cold finger food, a weekday lunch menu and two set menus.
