Conferences for up to 520 people in theatre layout, dinners for up to 600 on the beach and cocktail events for as many as 2,000 guests can be organized at the Sea Club, the conference center of Le Méridien Beach Plaza on Avenue Princesse Grace in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Seminars and company events
The Sea Club spreads over four levels and about 3,000 m², with 19 equipped meeting rooms. The break foyers take in daylight and look over the Mediterranean, and several open onto outdoor terraces. Rooms can be set in theatre, classroom, U-shape, banquet or cabaret style for groups of 90 to 520. Audiovisual equipment is available, along with wired or wireless high-speed internet. Across the hotel, 24 event spaces add up to 3,375 m², so a congress can run its plenary, breakout sessions, exhibition and evening dinner without leaving the building.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings indoors and outdoors. Couples can choose among the private beach, an area for sunset ceremonies, the ballroom, the pool terrace and the rooftop terrace. A dedicated wedding coordinator follows each event, and the hotel designs the menus and can arrange flowers and entertainment.
Rooms and capacities
The largest indoor room, Atlantique E, M et O, measures 579 m² and seats 520 in theatre style, 360 at a banquet or 570 at a standing reception. The Méditerranée Est et Ouest ballroom, 549 m², takes 450 in theatre style, 348 at a banquet and 550 standing. Outside, the beach, listed as Plage, covers 900 m² and hosts up to 600 for a dinner. The pool area, 544 m², works for 500 at a cocktail or 300 seated. Terrasse Méditerranée, 436 m², holds 250 standing or 180 seated, and the 1,200 m² rooftop terrace on the fifth floor holds 200. Fourteen smaller meeting rooms, from 13 to 128 m², suit groups of 5 to 80 people.
Catering
Catering is handled by the hotel. Breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches and dinners are offered as set options for meeting groups, and menus for weddings and gala dinners are drawn up with the events team.
History and setting
The hotel faces the sea on Avenue Princesse Grace, the coastal avenue of Monte Carlo, and has its own private beach. That waterfront position is the main argument for the venue. Delegates can move from a plenary to a terrace or onto the sand in a few minutes, and evening receptions take place with the Mediterranean as the backdrop. Outdoor spaces such as the beach, the pool and the rooftop give a program several settings across a two or three day meeting.
Getting there
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is the usual arrival point for international participants, and Monaco Monte-Carlo station is served by regional trains along the coast. Transfer times depend on traffic and are best confirmed with the hotel when planning arrivals for a large group.
