Hôtel Maison Barbillon hosts board meetings, study days, training sessions, brainstorming workshops and small receptions for up to 40 people in a 54 m² seminar room with daylight, and can lodge participants in its 48 bedrooms. It is a three-star hotel at 10 rue Louis Barbillon, in the station district of Grenoble, 300 m from the railway station.
Seminars and company events
The location is the main argument for a business meeting. The hotel sits between three poles of the city: the Europole business district, the Berriat student and creative quarter, and the historic center around place Grenette. Participants arriving by train walk from the platform to the meeting room in a few minutes.
The business space is a private room of 54 m² with natural light and very high-speed wifi. It can be set in theatre, classroom, islands or cocktail layouts, and takes up to 40 people depending on the configuration. The equipment includes a large screen with a video projector, a sound system, a microphone, a TV screen and a flipchart, with notepads, pens and bottled water for each participant. The team handles breaks and can suggest sports and cultural activities nearby to extend the day. A brochure can be downloaded from the official site.
For companies that send staff to Grenoble regularly, the hotel offers a Corporate contract for meetings, training sessions or sales tours, with a fixed business rate all year, faster booking and check-in, and flexible cancellation terms. The hotel is also bookable through the main travel agency distribution systems, and a dedicated online space gives corporate clients access to their negotiated rates.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel has one seminar room: 54 m², daylight, up to 40 people depending on layout (theatre, classroom, islands or cocktail). Capacities per layout are not published, so check the setup that fits your group before booking.
Accommodation
The 48 bedrooms are decorated in the spirit of a family house. Every room has an HD television with a range of French and international channels. On request, guests get a choice of pillows, a wake-up call, an iron, a baby cot and a selection of toiletry kits. The reception is open 24 hours, the staff speak several languages, and there is a concierge service for transfers, restaurant bookings and outings. Luggage storage is available, and the hotel has step-free access for guests with reduced mobility. A covered private car park offers six spaces, with a maximum height of 1.90 m.
Catering
The hotel bar and restaurant, Le Bar Billon, serves simple, generous food from 11 am to 11 pm, seven days a week: artisanal spreads, hot dishes, charcuterie and cheese boards, with local craft beer and cider. Breakfast is a sweet and savory buffet. In the lounge, hot drinks are available free throughout the day, with paid snacks at reception. For a seminar lunch or a larger meal, ask the team what the bar can serve or which restaurants nearby can take a group.
History and setting
The house was renovated in the manner of a guesthouse, with flannel-covered walls in discreet floral patterns, flea-market objects and old furniture mixed with contemporary comfort. It belongs to Assas Hotels Collection, a group of independent hotels in the Alps, Paris and the Mediterranean. The first ski resorts are under an hour away.
