Places to hold your seminar
A company’s choice of venue for a seminar depends on a number of criteria: the budget, what is at stake and the number of participants. Most seminars are held in hotels, campsites, guest houses, castles, cottages and restaurants, but some are also held in rooftops, theatres, boats, barges and even rented flats.
Seminars abroad have become less popular since Covid. Companies have adopted sustainable and responsible approaches to reinforce their image and commitments.
Seminar in a hotel: the benefits
Hotels are one of the classic places to hold a company seminar. But some hotels have atypical and innovative concepts! Ideal for bringing your team together and having a good time with your colleagues.
Clearly, the hotel offers real advantages for holding a corporate event :

- Reduced carbon footprint : contributing to more sustainable practices by minimising environmental impact.
- Practicality for teams : offering a practical and comfortable experience for participants.
- Holiday feel : create a relaxed atmosphere to encourage creativity and reflection.
- Tailor-made programme : work with the hotel’s partners to design a programme tailored to your company’s specific needs.

The venue is one of the keys to mobilising employees! It’s always the question that teams ask themselves several days before the seminar “where are we going to go?”
To guarantee the Waouh effect of your corporate event, choosing the hotel for your seminar is a crucial step. There are several criteria you need to define to guide your search and find the best establishment to welcome your whole team:
