Rooms and capacities
The hotel is a structure of wood and glass laid out around a pool that overlooks the river. Below, at water level, a balcony terrace extends into a pontoon. From this small marina, a boat can be hired for a private trip on the Seine, subject to availability. The pool is reserved for hotel guests. The site does not publish the names of the event rooms; the hire formats are described as the quay side and the Seine side.
Accommodation
The hotel has 54 rooms designed like boat cabins and 4 suites, many with views of the quays and the Seine. Participants in a seminar can stay on board the night before or after the event.
Catering
Catering for events is homemade by the hotel's chef and served at the table. The bar dînatoire, open every day from late afternoon, serves dishes to share inspired by several cuisines and a list of signature cocktails. Breakfast is a buffet of seasonal, organic and responsibly sourced French products, and brunch is served at weekends.
History and setting
The hotel sits between the Right Bank and the Left Bank, close to the Cité de la Mode et du Design, in a district that has changed a great deal in recent years. It belongs to the Elegancia group of Paris hotels. The bar runs a weekly program of events, and the hotel follows an environmental charter that encourages guests to arrive by bike, public transport or electric vehicle.
Getting there
Gare d'Austerlitz, served by metro lines 5 and 10, and Gare de Lyon, served by metro lines 1 and 14, are both within walking distance. Groups arriving by high-speed train from the south of France or by regional train from the Loire valley can walk from the station to the hotel. A bike rental partner offers guided rides from the hotel.
