Seminars and company events
Les Vagues Hôtel & Spa hosts meetings, residential seminars, business lunches and year-end dinners for up to 80 guests at a cocktail in its restaurant, with 45 rooms and suites for the night. The hotel stands at 9 Boulevard de l'Océan in Arcachon, on the French Atlantic coast, a few steps from the beach and facing the Bassin d'Arcachon.
The seminar room suits a working day for a small team, with a coffee break served during the session. For a larger group, the restaurant can be reserved and set up theatre style for 60 people. A residential seminar combines the meeting room, the restaurant and the rooms upstairs, and the spa gives participants a break at the end of the day. The events team answers at a dedicated address and quotes each space on request.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel's site does not present weddings. It does offer private meals, cocktail receptions and festive group menus with a choice of starter, main course and dessert, which suit a family dinner, a welcome evening or a company party. Ask the team directly about a wedding.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar room covers 35 square meters and takes 25 people theatre style or 12 to 15 in a U-shape, with a video projector, a paperboard and stationery. The restaurant, when privatized, holds 60 theatre style or 80 for a cocktail, and takes seated meals, cocktail dinners or buffets. The outdoor terrace takes 50 standing guests with a view over the Bassin, for coffee breaks, cocktails and lunch or dinner receptions. The rooftop on the sixth floor holds up to 40 people with a 360 degree view of the Bassin, for afterwork drinks and cocktail lunches or dinners.
Accommodation
The hotel has 45 rooms, including 13 suites, looking either over the Ville d'Hiver or over the Bassin. Categories range from the Elégance Ville d'Hiver and Prestige Vue Mer rooms for two people to the Suite Terrasse and the Suite Duplex Terrasse Jacuzzi for four. Room service runs 24 hours a day.
Catering
Catering comes from the hotel's own restaurant, L'Écume, which builds its menus on local, seasonal products. Breakfast is served from 8 to 10:30 a.m., and the bar and rooftop extend the evening.
History and setting
The hotel was conceived by Christophe San José and belongs to Le Boutique Hotels Collection, with artistic direction by Anaïs San José. The interiors use a soft palette, clean lines and large windows to bring in the light of the coast. The Spa Phytomer has direct access to the sea, which few hotels in Arcachon offer.
Getting there
Arcachon railway station has direct trains from Bordeaux, and Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is about an hour away by road. The hotel is on the seafront boulevard, within walking distance of the town center.
