Comet Étoile hosts study days, seminars, executive committee meetings, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners in rooms of 50 to 100 people. It occupies a former Haussmann-style townhouse built in 1860 at 20 rue de l'Amiral Hamelin, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
Comet Étoile is one of the Paris sites of the Comet Meetings network, and its theme is the English club. The official page lists the formats it handles: study days, meetings, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners. Rooms can be set up in theater, U-shape, classroom, boardroom or cabaret layouts, and the network lists 4K video projection, videoconferencing, fiber Wi-Fi, flipcharts and on-site technical support all day.
The network also describes a turnkey service. One contact follows the booking from the first brief to the day itself, and a production manager coordinates suppliers for larger events, with weekly check-ins starting 30 days before and a logistics visit beforehand.
Rooms and capacities
The site stresses three main volumes. The room called 0.2 takes up to 70 people, Le Patio up to 100 and Le Cercle up to 50. Beyond these, the building has two terraces, a loft that can be privatized and a rooftop with a view of the Eiffel Tower, which the site recommends for the end of the day.
A typical day is built around a welcome with cloakroom service, breakfast, a plenary session in one of the large rooms, lunch, an afternoon break and a cocktail at the end of the day. Small kitchens stay open with coffee, drinks and snacks.
Catering
Chef Vakhtang Meliava runs the Comet restaurant table, with a seasonal menu. The network says that about 70 percent of the products are French and come from reasoned agriculture. Breakfast, lunch and snacking are included in the day formula. For large receptions the network hands over to its partner caterer Fleur de Mets, which proposes cocktail dinners for up to 500 people and seated dinners for up to 210 guests across the network. Those figures are not specific to this townhouse.
History and setting
The building is a Haussmann townhouse dating from 1860, reworked in the spirit of an English club. The terraces and rooftop give the site outdoor space within the neighborhood near Trocadéro.
Getting there
Metro line 6 stops at Boissière, three minutes on foot, and line 9 at Iéna, five minutes. Bus lines 20, 32 and 82 serve the area, and Vélib' stations are nearby at Galilée-Kléber and Bassano-Iéna. For drivers, the Indigo Kléber-Trocadéro car park at 65 avenue Kléber is five minutes away.
