Les Salons Hoche host conferences, seminars, product launches, company cocktails, galas and fashion shows, as well as weddings, engagements and family celebrations, for groups from about 20 to 450 guests. The house offers six spaces over several floors that can be booked one at a time or combined over the course of a day. Les Salons Hoche stand at 9 Avenue Hoche in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, between Parc Monceau and the Arc de Triomphe.
Seminars and company events
For business events the house suggests a plenary in one salon, a networking break on the terrace and a seated dinner or party in another. Salon Monceau seats 350 in theater style, Salon Élysée 200, and both have a built-in stage; Élysée also has its own technical control room. Audiovisual equipment, fiber internet and an on-site stage manager are included in the offer. Partners cover filming, security and simultaneous interpretation. Past events listed by the venue include a conference in Salon Vendôme, a fashion show in Élysée and a half-day seminar in the Saint-Honoré suite.
Weddings and receptions
Private clients book the house for weddings, engagements, birthdays, henna nights and bar and bat mitzvahs. A typical sequence is a ceremony or welcome drink in Salon Vendôme or on the terrace, followed by dinner and dancing in Salon Élysée. In-house decorators design the setting, and wedding cakes are made to order. Classic cars such as a Cadillac or a Rolls-Royce can be arranged for arrivals or photo shoots.

History and setting
In the 1920s the building at 9 Avenue Hoche was a dance hall. Its owner, Pierre Beteille, later joined a young musician, Eddy Barclay, to found the Barclay record label, and the studios recorded artists from Charles Aznavour to Édith Piaf and Dalida. The premises then passed to Albert Oullo, who turned them into reception rooms. The house has hosted receptions since 1958.
