Kube Paris hosts seminars, study days, press events, afterworks and private parties, from a meeting of 5 people to an evening for 450 guests. Two event rooms with daylight look onto an inner courtyard, and 40 bedrooms are upstairs. Kube Paris is a four-star hotel of Machefert Collection at 1 Passage Ruelle, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, between the Canal Saint-Martin and Montmartre.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meetings, study days, private receptions, press events, afterworks, dance parties and fashion shows. Both rooms are flexible and can be set up classroom style, theatre style, in a U shape, for a seated dinner or for a cocktail. Each room comes with very fast wifi, a sound system, adjustable lighting, DJ decks and HD microphones. L'Atelier 1 has HD video projectors and L'Atelier 2 has large HD screens. Both rooms give direct access to a quiet planted terrace, which works as a break area between sessions.
The decor follows a post-apocalyptic theme in which plants take over the building. It gives a strong visual frame to a product launch, a press day or a fashion show, and it changes the tone of a working day for a team used to plain meeting rooms. An events brochure can be downloaded from the hotel's seminar page. A work and meeting space is also available on request for hotel guests who need a room for a few hours.
Rooms and capacities
L'Atelier 1 covers 70 m² and L'Atelier 2 covers 50 m². The hotel does not publish a seated or standing figure for each room. Its stated range runs from a meeting of 5 to an evening for 450 guests, which implies the use of more of the building than the two rooms, so ask which spaces are included for a large party. The inner courtyard covers about 300 m² and most bedrooms look onto it.
