Villa Beaumarchais can host seminars, workshops, study days, conferences, press days, cocktail receptions, dinners, showrooms and after-work events for up to 115 guests standing in its winter garden, with a separate 50 square meter meeting room for smaller groups. It is a 50-room hotel of the Machefert collection at 5 rue des Arquebusiers, on a quiet street of the Marais in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its two event spaces for business and private use. The winter garden suits a plenary session, a product presentation, a showroom or a reception, and the Figaro salon suits a board meeting or a working group. A team helps with organizing the event. The equipment listed includes wifi, a video projector, a screen and flipcharts.
For an evening that runs late, the group operates a hidden bar a few meters from the hotel where guests can continue. The location helps for teams coming from several parts of the city: the Marais and République are close by, and the hotel has private parking, which is rare in this part of Paris.
Rooms and capacities
The winter garden covers 200 square meters under a glass roof with a high ceiling. It takes up to 115 people standing and holds a piano. The hotel lists seminars, workshops, private receptions, conferences, cocktail receptions, dinners, showrooms and after-work events for this space.
The Figaro salon measures 50 square meters and sits inside the winter garden as an enclosed and quieter room. It can be set up as a boardroom, classroom, theater or U-shape and has an HDMI projector and flipchart. The hotel says it can welcome up to 50 people depending on the layout chosen; for a seated board meeting the number will be much lower. It is offered for seminars, study days, private receptions and press days.
Accommodation
The hotel has 50 rooms, all opening onto a central patio planted with trees, and soundproofed so that guests can sleep with the windows open. Categories run from the Standard double or twin room of 18 square meters to the Superior at 25, the Deluxe at 30 with a spa bathtub, the Junior Suite at 33 with a sitting area and the Suite at 43 square meters for four, plus connecting rooms of 51 square meters for five. Rooms have air conditioning, a minibar, a flat-screen television and free high-speed wifi. Reception is open 24 hours, and luggage storage is available on arrival and departure days.
Catering
Breakfast is served every morning from 7 to 10 a.m. Dinners and cocktail receptions are listed among the formats of the winter garden, but the hotel does not say who provides the food; ask the events team which caterers it works with.
History and setting
The design follows a theme of hunting in the wild, carried through the rooms and the patio, and every detail was chosen to bring in light and keep the hotel calm in the middle of the city. The Carnavalet Museum is 450 meters away and the Place des Vosges a six-minute walk, which gives guests an easy outing between sessions.
Getting there
Villa Beaumarchais is at 5 rue des Arquebusiers, 75003 Paris. Chemin Vert station on metro line 8 is a three-minute walk. Buses 20 and 65 stop at Saint-Claude, 150 meters away. Gare de Lyon is about 10 minutes away and Gare de l'Est about 15 minutes, which suits teams arriving by train from the regions.
