Le Grand Hôtel des Rêves offers about 1,000 m² for private events in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Company days, seminars, launch evenings, weddings, film shoots and photo sessions can use its fifth-floor café with two salons, its rear garden and the sets built for its immersive shows. The venue occupies the Hôtel Le Brun, an 18th-century mansion listed as a historic monument, at 47 rue du Cardinal Lemoine.
Seminars and company events
The official site names company days and seminars first among the events the venue organises, and the page also addresses groups and works councils. Each space has its own identity and can be adapted to the program. The fifth-floor café suits a reception, a dinner or an evening for a team. The garden offers an outdoor option for breaks and receptions. The sets used in the shows can be arranged for an event, so a team can hold part of its program inside a library, a control tower or a workshop. The sets change with each show, so the choice depends on the date.
The site does not publish seated or standing capacities for these spaces. State your headcount and format in the request so the team can propose the right combination.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are listed among the events on the private-hire page, alongside launch evenings, filming and photo sessions. For a reception, the fifth-floor café with its two salons and bar area is the natural base, and the garden at the back extends it outdoors in good weather. The team builds the event with the organiser, from layout to the use of the immersive sets.
Rooms and capacities
The official site presents three families of spaces. Le Café, on the fifth floor, is a large bright room with two salons and a bar and shop area, described as suitable for private evenings, dinners and festive events. Le Jardin lies behind the building and is suited to outdoor receptions, breaks and photo sessions. The show sets include salons, a library, a control tower and a Father Christmas workshop, and they can be arranged specially for an event. Together the spaces total about 1,000 m².
Catering
The site mentions a café and a shop on the premises but does not describe a catering offer for events. Ask the team whether food and drinks come from the venue or from an outside caterer.
History and setting
The Hôtel Le Brun was built in the early 18th century by the architect Germain Boffrand. It takes its name from Charles Le Brun, first painter to Louis XIV, who bought the land in 1651. The building is listed as a historic monument and keeps a classical look, between a paved courtyard and a garden. It is now run as a theatre of immersive shows, and the event offer rests on that combination of heritage setting and stage design. Shows run on weekends and during school holidays, so confirm which dates are free for hire.
Getting there
The address is 47 rue du Cardinal Lemoine, 75005 Paris. The official site gives these routes: metro line 7 to Jussieu, metro line 10 to Cardinal Lemoine, RER C to Gare d'Austerlitz and then line 10 or a 15-minute walk, or RER B to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame and then a 13-minute walk.
