Seminars and company events
The hotel presents its meeting rooms as suitable for groups of 15 to 130 people. The seminar page lists six meeting and plenary rooms of 10 to 180 m², and the FAQ mentions three modular rooms. The rooms have Wi-Fi, a video projector, cinema-style screens and a sound system. Packages cover a half day, a full day or a residential stay, with lunch, dinner and coffee breaks. The hotel states that it can house up to 120 people overnight and receive up to 150 people indoors.
Small teams can rent a private villa with six bedrooms for six to ten people. The gastronomic restaurant and the Boat Bar can be privatised for a group, and the Boat Bar suits aperitifs in the garden.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, the hotel offers gala dinners for up to 160 people in a room of 300 m², although the FAQ gives 150 people indoors, with more outdoors depending on the setup. A private ceremony can be held in the gardens, and an outdoor tent can be added. The usual sequence is a vin d'honneur or cocktail dinner, a gala dinner and a brunch the next day facing the lake. The menu is built with the kitchen team. Birthdays and baptisms are also accepted.
