Oceania Les Augustins takes meetings of up to 50 people in its largest room, small confidential sessions for 15, and cocktail evenings for up to 150 guests when the bar and restaurant are privatized. The hotel, Oceania Les Augustins Hôtel & SPA, stands at 37 rue du Molinel in central Lille, a short walk from Lille Flandres station.
Seminars and company events
The offer is built for compact business formats: a training session, a project workshop, a committee meeting or an after-work event for a team. Meeting spaces get natural daylight, and two private salons, the bar and the lobby can be used for informal meetings and co-working between sessions. The bar and restaurant can be privatized for a cocktail party or an evening event of up to 150 people. The sales team builds each event around a quote request.
Rooms and capacities
The Dupont room is the largest, with up to 50 people in its widest layout, 40 in theater style and 20 around a boardroom table. The Scalbert room takes up to 20 people, or 10 around a single table. Le Refuge, the former panic room of the bank, seats 15 at a table for a confidential meeting. The Lobby, under the glass roof, holds a cocktail for 50. The hotel does not publish floor areas, and its text and table differ slightly on the size of the meeting rooms, so confirm the layout you need.
Accommodation
The hotel has 87 bedrooms, including the Suite Scalbert-Dupont. The spa has an indoor heated pool set in the former vault room, a sauna and treatment rooms working with Sothys products, which gives delegates a place to unwind after a working day.
Catering
Les Augustins is the bar-restaurant of the hotel, open to outside guests as well. The kitchen serves traditional French cooking with regional dishes, and the bar sits under the oval glass roof. Co-working areas offer coffee, tea, water and a few sweet bites. The site does not publish event menus; they are part of the quote.
History and setting
The building was the Scalbert-Dupont bank, an Art Deco landmark dated to 1929. The redesign kept its original glass roof, marble staircase and ironwork, and the meeting rooms carry the names of the bank's founders. The hotel presents itself as the first low-carbon hotel in the Lille metropolitan area.
Getting there
Lille Flandres station is a short walk away, and Lille Europe, served by high-speed trains to Paris, London and Brussels, is also close to the center. Lille-Lesquin airport is south of the city. Private parking is available but limited, so spaces should be booked ahead for delegates arriving by car.
