Château de Colonster can host company meetings, conferences, cocktail receptions and seated dinners, from a small working group up to 140 guests. The château stands on the Sart Tilman estate of the University of Liège, a few kilometers from the city center of Liège, and has welcomed organizers for more than 40 years.
Seminars and company events
The château is open to businesses for meetings, conferences and cocktails, and also takes private receptions. The team describes formulas that run from a seminar for a few people to a meeting of 140 delegates, or a cocktail followed by a dinner for several dozen guests. Several seminar rooms are available for presentations, workshops and meetings. To book, you send a request by email or call the team, which answers from Tuesday to Friday.
Rooms and capacities
Three named rooms are listed on the official site. Each has Wi-Fi and a screen for projections.
The Salle du Rectorat holds a large rectangular table and suits a meal or a board-level discussion for 2 to 14 people. The Salle créative suits 8 to 28 guests, and round tables of 6 to 10 can be laid out there. The Salon Vert et Or suits 10 to 36 guests, also with round tables of 6 to 10.
Beyond these rooms, the château offers further seminar spaces and private dining rooms. A tree-lined terrace is open from Tuesday to Friday when the weather allows, which gives a place for a coffee break or an aperitif between sessions. The largest formula reaches 140 guests.
Catering
Equipment and a catering service are available for events, so an organizer can book the room, the technical setup and the meal in one request. The château also houses the Héliport Brasserie, led by chef Frédéric Salpetier, whose kitchen is described as refined and inventive, built on classical techniques with modern influences. The official site mentions a Michelin star for the restaurant. The brasserie is open from Tuesday to Friday, which is also the window for contacting the team about events.
History and setting
The château is typical of 18th-century architecture. It follows a finger-glove plan, meaning a long central block that extends forward, flanked by two towers and a chapel set against the outbuildings. It stands in a park, and the site also includes an open-air museum, which gives a group something to visit before or after a meeting.
Getting there
Château de Colonster is at the southern entrance of the Sart Tilman university campus, on Allée des Érables in Liège. It is two minutes from the E25 motorway and about ten kilometers from the center of Liège, which makes it simple for groups arriving by car or coach. The official site does not state a train station or an airport, so check the transfer from Liège with the team when you send your request.
