Hôtel Square Louvois hosts board meetings, training days and small seminars for up to 50 people in theatre layout, in three meeting rooms with a total area of about 70 square meters. It is a four-star hotel at 12 rue de Louvois, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, between the Opéra Garnier and the Palais-Royal.
Seminars and company events
The business floor is designed for day meetings rather than large conferences. Choiseul and Vivienne can be used separately or combined, and Richelieu serves as a small boardroom. Each room comes with a video projector, screen, sound system, microphone, flip chart and writing materials. Coffee and tea are served throughout the day, and the hotel offers gourmet breaks between sessions. For companies that send staff to Paris often, the hotel proposes an annual corporate contract with a fixed business rate, simpler booking and check-in, and flexible cancellation terms. A business corner with two computers, high-speed internet and printing is open to guests.
Rooms and capacities
Choiseul takes 25 in theatre style, 18 at round tables, 16 in a U-shape and 14 to 16 in classroom style. Vivienne takes 20 in theatre style, 14 at round tables, 12 in a U-shape and 10 in classroom style. Combined, Choiseul and Vivienne take 50 in theatre style, 24 in classroom style or at round tables, and 22 in a U-shape. Richelieu seats five to seven in a U-shape or eight around a table, which suits an executive committee or a day of interviews. The site also gives a figure of 45 people for the business space as a whole, so organisers should confirm the final count with the hotel.
Accommodation
The hotel's own listing data gives 50 rooms. Participants can stay on site, which helps for a two-day program or for teams arriving from other cities, and the business rate applies to regular corporate stays.
Catering
There is no restaurant on site. The hotel serves a breakfast buffet in the morning, and pastries and drinks in the afternoon. Meeting days rely on the coffee service and the gourmet breaks; for lunch, the 2nd arrondissement offers a wide choice of restaurants within a few minutes' walk, from quick lunches to private dining rooms.
History and setting
The hotel faces the square Louvois, a small public garden laid out in the 19th century around a monumental fountain. The area is the historic business quarter of Paris, between the Bourse, the Grands Boulevards and the Opéra, and the Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France stands across the square. The room names come from the streets of the neighborhood: rue de Choiseul, rue Vivienne and rue de Richelieu.
Getting there
The Opéra Garnier and boulevard Haussmann are a short walk away, and the Palais-Royal is about ten minutes on foot. Several metro lines serve the area, with Quatre-Septembre, Bourse and Pyramides stations close by. The RER at Auber, near the Opéra, connects to Charles de Gaulle Airport, and Gare Saint-Lazare is within walking distance for teams coming from Normandy.
