Cercle Cité rents two spaces in the center of Luxembourg City: the historic reception rooms of the Cercle building and a modern conference center in the Cité building. Together they cover more than 1,330 m², with a Grande Salle for up to 400 guests, a 142-seat auditorium and meeting rooms from 12 to 50 seats. The venue stands by the Place d'Armes, and the entrance is at 2 rue Genistre.
Seminars and company events
The conference center is built for corporate events. It offers three modular, combinable meeting rooms and two auditoriums, with audiovisual equipment suited to conferences, seminars, workshops and meetings.
The Cité Auditorium seats 142 in 175 m², with a control room, an interpreter booth, a multilingual translation system, 100 wireless receiver headsets and recording facilities. The Henri Beck Auditorium seats 48 in 126 m², with cinema-style sound for small conferences or round tables. Room 501 has an oval table for 12 and a videoconference camera. Room 502 is the largest meeting room at 94 m², with daylight and electric blinds, and takes 24 to 50 depending on the layout. Room 503 holds up to 30 people. Room 502 and the Henri Beck Auditorium are often combined, so a conference can end with a networking cocktail.
Weddings and receptions
The rooms of the Cercle sit on the third floor and keep their original architecture. The Grande Salle is 480 m² and takes up to 400 guests for receptions, concerts, banquets or academic sessions. Past state visits have used it, with guests including Queen Elizabeth II, François Mitterrand and Pope Francis. The Salon Bleu, with a moulded ceiling and carved wood, is described for small conferences, concerts and weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The Bar Foyer covers 184 m², under a glass dome with stained glass windows, and is recommended for cocktails of up to 150. It is included in the rental of the Grande Salle. The Salon Bleu is 100 m² for up to 100 guests. The Salle des Dames is 40 m² for up to 15 people and suits bilateral meetings. The Salle Flamande is included with the Bar Foyer and the Grande Salle, and it links the salons to the Cité Auditorium through a glass footbridge over rue Genistre.
That footbridge lets a conference in the auditorium move straight to a cocktail in the Bar Foyer.
