Le Jardin de Verre by Locke hosts small meetings, workshops and launches for 8 seated or 20 standing guests, with 145 rooms, studios, suites and apartments on site, at 7 rue Lacépède in the Latin Quarter of Paris. The hotel gathers two French Baroque mansions and a 19th-century factory under one roof. It has two meeting rooms, a suite for gatherings and a restaurant and bar for larger events on request.
Seminars and company events
The meetings offer is built for small teams. Two meeting rooms, Salon Lutèce and Dahlia, and the Roseraie Suite are available from 8:00 to 18:00. The hotel describes sessions for free thinking and formal meetings, launches, lunches and cocktail hours. Because the guests can also sleep on site, the hotel works for a short project week, a workshop with out-of-town participants or a leadership retreat for a small group. Events in the restaurant and bar are quoted on enquiry, and the site invites organizers to ask for larger formats.
Weddings and receptions
The official page does not present weddings. It does mention dinners, launches and cocktail hours, and it offers the restaurant, bar and courtyard for gatherings on request.
Rooms and capacities
Salon Lutèce and Dahlia are two meeting rooms of the same size, each holding 8 people seated. The Roseraie Suite is a light-filled space facing the courtyard, with a ceiling covered in plants, a lounge and a kitchen, and it holds 8 seated or 20 standing. All three offer fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, daylight, conference call facilities, a smart TV, a sound system and a cloakroom. The Roseraie Suite adds a private kitchen, and catering is available. The meeting spaces take their furnishings and local artwork from the Roman amphitheater nearby, which gives the rooms a consistent theme.
Accommodation
The hotel counts 145 rooms, studios, suites and apartments in twelve categories. All have their own kitchen except the 16 square meter room called The Room. The range runs from Superior Studios, some with a balcony, to Deluxe Studios, an accessible ground-floor version, Junior Suites, one with a terrace, and One Bedroom Suites of 38 square meters with a separate bedroom, a desk and a dining table. A yoga studio and a gym are on site.
Catering
The on-site restaurant is called Bibie and sits in a triple-height atrium, with a cafe and a cocktail bar. Catering is available for meetings, and a courtyard is set aside for long lunches and later drinks. The hotel does not list a set menu for events, so formats are agreed on enquiry.
History and setting
The building combines two French Baroque mansions with a former factory from the 19th century. Original stonework and old factory ironwork are left visible, with newer details around them. The Panthéon, the Jardin des Plantes and the Sorbonne are a short walk from the door.
Getting there
The address is 7 rue Lacépède, 75005 Paris, in the Latin Quarter. The closest métro stations are Place Monge on line 7 and Jussieu on lines 7 and 10, both a few minutes on foot. Gare d'Austerlitz is a short ride away for guests arriving by train.
