Chic New Event Space Makes Montparnasse Hotel an Unrivaled Destination for Meetings

PARIS, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Dec 23, 2014) - Just because something is considered the best doesn't mean it can't become even better. The Paris Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center, for example, earned a World Travel Award as France's Leading Conference Center Hotel in both 2012 and 2013, thanks to its vast square footage, expert service and convenient location. But such recognition only spurred it on to greater heights. This year it underwent a comprehensive renovation whose results have meeting planners everywhere eager to get to work.

Delegates will find no shortage of inspiration within this premier Paris conference center. Boasting 84 meeting rooms that occupy a staggering 51,667 square feet of underground space directly below the hotel, the conference center is poised to welcome intimate gatherings as easily as international conferences. Its Scène Ballroom can accommodate up to 2,000 people, for example, while 40 breakout rooms invite smaller groups to brainstorm.

While the conference center offers some of the biggest meeting space in Paris, it's also among the most beautiful. Visitors will discover sleek, chic conference rooms that have been meticulously designed. Warm gold tones and sculptural lighting serve as a creative nod to the City of Light, while interesting wall treatments ranging from tactile wood paneling to prints evoke organic elements like leaves and stones.

On a more practical note, the hotel has integrated features like better signage and, in the pre-function space, flexible seating to ensure that the spaces employ function as well as impressive form.

All of the other features that make the property stand out even among 4-star hotels in Paris remain attractively in place. On-site exhibition space, a full-service business center, 24-hour concierge service, a fitness center and two concierge levels all enhance both productivity and pleasure. The 757 guest rooms and suites indulge guests with luxury bedding and high-speed Internet access. And for those who would like a guest room to match in scale and opulence the conference spaces below, the Champagne and Hemingway suites afford ample square footage, spectacular views and access to the hotel's Executive Lounge. Enjoying the best, after all, makes every trip better.
