Hôtel Saint-Laurent in Montfort-l'Amaury hosts study days and residential seminars for 4 to 20 people in two daylight meeting rooms. It also offers 19 bedrooms and a separate reception room for private events of up to 70 guests. The hotel sits about 45 km from Paris, in the Yvelines.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells half-day study days, with or without lunch, full study days and two residential seminar packages, called Classique and Privilège. Both rooms look onto a garden or park, are quiet and have natural light. The official site lists a projector, a screen, a whiteboard, a paperboard and Wi-Fi in each room. Every participant receives water, a notepad and a pen. A detailed brochure with all services can be downloaded from the hotel site.
Rooms and capacities
La Treille measures 47 m². It seats 28 people in conference layout and 20 in a U shape. La Tourelle measures 34 m² and seats 18 in conference layout and 14 in a U shape. Neither room is air-conditioned, which matters for a summer booking. Together the rooms cover groups from 4 to 20 people, so the place suits board meetings, team workshops and training days rather than large conventions.
Weddings and receptions
The Résidence Saint-Laurent, an annex two minutes on foot from the hotel, can be hired for private events. The hotel names family meals, birthdays, christenings and weddings. Its reception room takes 40 guests for a seated dinner and up to 50 for a standing cocktail. With access to the private garden, the figure rises to 70. The hotel works with outside suppliers and gives a list on request, then arranges meetings between the couple and those suppliers. A brunch can also be organized on site between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., on reservation.
Accommodation
The hotel counts 19 bedrooms: 15 in the three-star hotel and 4 in the Résidence. A tree-filled garden, private free parking, bicycle rental on reservation, room service and step-free access are listed among the services. Groups that stay overnight can therefore keep the whole event within a few minutes on foot.
Catering
For lunch the hotel offers a buffet or a meal in its own restaurant, which has a terrace and a garden in fine weather. The restaurant La Place, five minutes on foot from the hotel, is listed among the hotel services. For dinner the hotel works with several partner restaurants in Montfort-l'Amaury, which lets a group extend the working day in town.
History and setting
The building dates from an earlier age of the town. According to the hotel, the house served as the town hall and as a barracks for the maréchaussée in 1790, then became a private home again under the Empire. Burgundy stone floor slabs and the original beams can still be seen from the reception. Montfort-l'Amaury is a medieval town, and the hotel suggests combining a stay with its streets and the surrounding countryside.
Getting there
The hotel is about 45 km from Paris, roughly 35 minutes by road from western Paris and 25 minutes from Versailles. Thoiry is 12 km away and Rambouillet 19 km. The hotel address is 2 place Lebreton. Free private parking is available on site, which makes the place easy for groups arriving by car or minibus.
