Le Grand Quartier is a four-star hotel at 15 rue de Nancy, in the Saint-Martin district of Paris's 10th arrondissement, near the canal. Companies can book its meeting studios by the day, half day or evening, and the site also has a garden, a café-bistro, a restaurant and a rooftop.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer is built around the Studios, which the hotel describes as modular meeting rooms with daylight. They are meant for working sessions, workshops and brainstorming around a large table. Each studio comes with a connected screen, audio equipment and videoconference gear, free high-speed wifi and self-service drinks. A lounge area called the Playlounge gives access to a coffee machine with capsules, a kettle and tea, water, sugar, milk and filtered water.
Three time slots are offered, every day from Monday to Sunday: a full day from 9 am to 6 pm, a half day from 9 am to 1 pm or from 2 pm to 6 pm, and an evening from 7 pm to 11 pm. The evening slot makes the studios usable for a launch, a team dinner or a client gathering once the working day is over. The site also lists private hire and group bookings in its menu, and an online quote tool, so larger or more complex requests can be put to the team directly.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages reviewed do not present weddings as a product. Receptions in the evening slot are possible in principle, but couples and anyone planning a celebration should ask the hotel what it can arrange before counting on it.
Rooms and capacities
There are three bookable configurations: Studio 1, Studio 2, and Studio 1+2 combined. Studio 1 and Studio 2 each have large windows overlooking the garden. The combined space is presented as a way to privatize a brighter and larger room with a view over the garden. The official text gives no capacity figures for any of them, so ask for seated and standing numbers by layout when you send your request.
Accommodation
The hotel offers several room categories on its site, named Cocoon, Cosy and Fancy, plus suites and studios in two sizes marked S and L. The number of bedrooms is not stated in the pages reviewed. Participants coming from out of town can stay on site, and the hotel offers a group booking page for this purpose.
Catering
Food and drink can be pre-ordered or taken directly at the café, and can be served in the studio itself. The site also lists a restaurant and a café-bistro around the garden, plus a rooftop, which gives you options for a lunch, a break or an after-work drink close to the meeting space.
History and setting
The hotel was designed by the interior designers Joyce Urbanus and Dax Roll, founders of Nicemakers. It is organized around a large central garden and groups a hotel, a restaurant, a garden, meeting spaces and a rooftop. The hotel describes itself as a place that is calm during the day and lively in the evening, and it opened in the Saint-Martin district, a creative neighborhood on the canal.
Getting there
Le Grand Quartier is a few minutes from the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est. This suits teams arriving by train from other French cities or from abroad, and it reduces the travel time for participants who come for a single day. A parking option is listed on the website.
