Le Manoir au Lac in Gérardmer hosts small seminars, study days and team events for up to 20 people in its seminar room, and receptions for up to 40 in its restaurant. It is a four-star hotel with 19 rooms and suites, a spa and a park, two minutes on foot from the lake. Weddings are held with exclusive use of the manor.
Seminars and company events
The hotel markets itself for study days, seminars and team-building. The seminar room takes a maximum of 20 people and has a video projector and a screen. Meals can be added: breakfast, an afternoon tea, lunch or dinner, as well as bedrooms in the hotel. Packages exist for a residential seminar with a night in a single room, for a half-board seminar and for a study day, each with a welcome break, a meal, an afternoon snack and room hire. The team plans the event from start to finish and answers requests throughout the year. The venue suits small boards or workshop groups rather than conventions.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, the manor is used exclusively by the couple and guests. The secular ceremony and photographs take place in the large green park. The dance evening and dinner are planned in one of the reception rooms, and guests sleep in the bedrooms. Birthdays, baptisms and other private celebrations are also hosted, with the same service from the same team.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar room holds up to 20 people. The restaurant holds up to 40 and serves as a reception space. The site mentions two reception spaces in total. It lists no larger room, so groups above 40 should ask the team whether the park and halls can be combined.
Accommodation
Since the 2020 renovation the manor has 5 suites and 14 rooms. The hotel also lists a second building, the Villa Grand Bois, with its own rooms. A spa offers a swimming pool, sauna, hammam, massages and treatments. An overnight stopover package for business travellers is available.
Catering
The restaurant, La Table du Manoir, serves a changing menu made with regional produce. For events, breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch and dinner can be booked with the room.
History and setting
The building goes back to the 19th century, when the writer Maupassant liked to stay there. Claude Valentin and his wife turned it into a hotel, which had 7 rooms in 1997, joined later by 7 rooms in the annex. The manor stands in the heart of Gérardmer on the Chemin de la Droite du Lac, a two-minute walk from the lake.
Getting there
The address is 59 Chemin de la Droite du Lac, 88400 Gérardmer, in the Vosges. The site gives no rail or airport details, so confirm the best route with the hotel when booking.
