Hôtel Le Labrador can host seminars, team building programs and incentive stays for groups of up to 36 people in its main meeting room, with two breakout rooms for 8 and 15 and 32 bedrooms on site. The three-star hotel stands on the Chamonix golf course at Les Praz de Chamonix, facing the Mont Blanc range, about 3 km from the center of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells company seminars, team building courses, incentives and other corporate events, and states more than 25 years of experience in running seminars. Its meeting room is on the first floor, with daylight, and covers 50 square meters. It seats 30 people in a U-shape and 36 in classroom layout. A video projector, flip chart, notepads, pens and Wi-Fi are provided.
Two smaller rooms can serve as breakout rooms for 8 and 15 people, so a group can split into workshops without leaving the building. Rates depend on the season and are given on request.
The hotel can also arrange outdoor activities led by professional guides, which lets a group combine working sessions with time in the Chamonix valley. In winter, the Brévent-Flégère ski area starts 250 meters from the hotel. In summer, the valley offers hiking trails, mountain biking, climbing, rafting and paragliding, and golf starts at the door.
Rooms and capacities
Main seminar room: 50 square meters on the first floor, daylight, 30 in U-shape, 36 in classroom layout. Breakout rooms: one for 8 people and one for 15. The hotel does not list a banquet or reception room, so this is a venue for small working groups rather than for large parties.
Accommodation
The hotel has 32 rooms. Classic rooms of 17 square meters, two of them adapted for guests with reduced mobility, take a double bed or two single beds. Superior rooms of 19 square meters have a balcony over the golf course and the Mont Blanc. Superior triple rooms of 22 square meters and family rooms of 23 square meters sleep three or four. The hotel states that about 90 percent of its rooms have balconies facing the ninth fairway.
An adjoining chalet adds a 28-square-meter studio with a terrace, a two-room apartment of 50 square meters and a three-room apartment of 70 square meters, both with a fireplace and kitchenette. The apartments are reached by stairs only, with no elevator. A spa with a hot tub, sauna and steam room opens in the late afternoon and evening.
Catering
Breakfast is served as a buffet on the top floor of the hotel, and room service is available in the morning. For lunch and dinner, the hotel points to two restaurants on the golf course: the Club House, at the 18th hole, with a terrace menu at lunch in summer, and La Cabane des Praz, a log cabin restaurant 80 meters from the hotel, open for lunch and dinner. Ask the hotel how meals are organized for a seminar group.
History and setting
The hotel is a family-run chalet in wood and stone, with south-facing views of the Mont Blanc and the Drus, at the edge of the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve. The 18-hole golf course around it was designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior and grew from four holes laid out in 1934.
