Hôtel Les Elmes hosts seminars, team-building days, gala dinners and family receptions for up to 55 guests across three rooms, with a panoramic terrace and a Mediterranean garden that can be privatised. The four-star hotel and spa stands on the seafront in Banyuls-sur-Mer, on the Côte Vermeille, a short drive from Collioure.
Seminars and company events
The hotel builds events to order: a one-day meeting, a residential seminar, a team-building program or a gala evening. The three rooms cover small working sessions as well as a plenary for around 50. Equipment includes a microphone and sound system, a projector, fiber-optic Wi-Fi and a flat-screen television.
The setting provides the activities. Groups can use the heated swimming pool and the spa, hire a boat for the day, and ask the team for excursion ideas along the coast and into the hills behind Banyuls. The hotel also organizes themed evenings, which helps fill a program over two or three days without moving the group.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel lists family celebrations such as communions, baptisms and birthdays, served in the Bulle de Mer room or outdoors on the privatised terrace and garden. The website does not present a wedding offer, so couples should confirm with the hotel what it can arrange.
Rooms and capacities
The Salon Pyrénées covers 100 square meters and takes 55 in theatre style, 35 in a U-shape or classroom, 25 around one table and 50 for a banquet. The Salon Méditerranée, at 40 square meters, takes 35 in theatre style, 20 in a U-shape, 18 in classroom and 25 around a table, which suits a board meeting. The Bulle de Mer, also 100 square meters, is the reception room, with 55 seated for a meal or 50 for a cocktail. The hotel also mentions that two of its lounges can be adapted.
Accommodation
The hotel is open every day of the week, around the clock, and has rooms adapted for guests with reduced mobility. The total number of bedrooms is not stated on the events page, so organisers should ask how many rooms can be held for a residential group. The spa is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with massages and treatments from Wednesday to Sunday.
Catering
Meals are prepared by the hotel's chef, from seated lunches to dinner cocktails designed for the event. A group menu is available to download from the website, which gives organisers an early idea of what can be served.
Getting there
Banyuls-sur-Mer is on the coast road between Collioure and the Spanish border. The town has a railway station on the line from Perpignan, and Perpignan airport is the nearest airport. Organisers should check transfer options with the hotel when planning arrivals for a full group.
