Meetings & gatherings
Our view, formed by watching a great many of these, is that the useful part of an offsite happens in the gaps. So we hold mornings for work and keep the afternoons genuinely empty.
We are not a conference hotel and none of the six houses has a ballroom. What they have is rooms that seat between fourteen and sixty at one table, kitchens that will feed a group without turning it into catering, and enough distance from everything else that nobody slips away at four.
Everything below is priced per person per day, full board, because splitting a gathering into room hire, coffee breaks and delegate rates is a way of making a simple number look smaller than it is.
Three formats
Four days, one room, up to twenty-eight people, and an afternoon each day when nothing is scheduled at all.
Our view, formed by watching a great many of these, is that the useful part of an offsite happens in the gaps. So the format we recommend holds mornings for work, keeps afternoons genuinely empty, and puts everyone at one table in the evening.
The room is yours for the duration and is not turned over for anybody else. Screens, boards and a decent connection are provided as a matter of course rather than as a line item.
One day, one table, up to fourteen. Arrive the evening before, work until three, and leave when it suits you.
For groups that need a room, a table and no interruptions for a single day. Arrival the previous evening is included because a board that has slept badly in transit is not a board that decides anything well.
Lunch is served in the room rather than the restaurant, which saves about forty minutes and is the most appreciated part of the arrangement.
A house, or part of one, taken for a piece of work that needs uninterrupted weeks rather than days.
Writers, small research groups and, twice now, an orchestra section preparing a recording. Long stays in low season, at a rate that reflects the season honestly, with meals at fixed times and nothing else asked of you.
We do not publish a price for this because it depends entirely on the house, the season and the length. Write to us and we will answer with a number rather than a brochure.
Rooms
No partition walls, no syndicate rooms, and no delegate rate. Every one of these is a room the house also uses for something else.
Montreval Verane
Cimaise's room, taken privately. Five-metre ceilings, the original beam structure, and the lake along one entire side.
Montreval Verane
The lake pavilion at the end of the terrace, open on three sides, with the water directly beneath the deck.
Montreval Calanera
The full terrace at Marena, under the original vine pergola, ninety metres above the sea.
Maison Aubris
The nine-metre oak table at Table d'Aubris, and the courtyard outside it. One room, one table, one sitting.
Montreval Sabaia
Open sand below the escarpment, lit entirely by fire and lanterns. No power, no amplification, no roof.
Montreval Tamerin
A canvas pavilion on the sand at the northern end of the beach, rigged by the boat crew and struck the following morning.
Gatherings
Write to meetings@montrevalhotels.com with the number of people, the season and what the days need to achieve. We will answer with a number rather than a brochure.
