Budget
On quotation, according to group size and season
Price drivers: one night at Saint James Paris, the Club Room and suites, and the dinner at Hôtel Wallace, quoted on request; the dinner at Atelier Maître Albert from 45 € HT per person as listed by the venue, basis and inclusions to be confirmed. Activities are indicative and per person excluding VAT: the bridge challenge from 65 €, with VAT treatment to be confirmed at quote; the cooking masterclass from around 290 € for the masterclass and the shared meal, excluding wines. The final price depends on the date and on the venue or menu chosen.
Domande frequenti
How far ahead should a board meeting in Paris be booked?
We suggest confirming a private hotel room and the cooking masterclass at least three months ahead, and earlier for autumn dates. Restaurant tables and the challenge materials are confirmed in the same quotation, so the whole programme can be validated in one step.
Is Saint James Paris suitable for a group of 12 to 16 directors?
Yes. The Club Room of 54 m² suits small groups, and the hotel's meetings page gives 18 people in a U-shape. The hotel itself advises against seminars above about 40 people, so larger boards need a larger venue.
What is included, and what can be customised?
The quotation lists the hotel nights, the room set-up, meals, the bridge challenge, the cooking masterclass and transfers as separate lines, so any item can be removed or moved to another day. Masterclasses and private rooms depend on the chef's and the venue's availability and are confirmed in writing.
