Wyndham: an Olympic-size business hotel in Saint Denis

Faster, higher, stronger. The Wyndham group is expanding its footprint in the Paris Region business hotel sector. While its Dolce brand is preparing a MICE hotel at Jouy-en-Josas, next spring the American hotelier will be affixing its flagship brand to another great, great business establishment. A hotel with a front row seat to the major event of 2024, located between the Stade de France and the future Olympic Village in Saint Denis.

Since his rooftop bar perched 125 m high or its panoramic swimming pool, both on the 40th and top floors, guests of the future H4 Hotel Wyndham Paris Pleyel will be able to contemplate the effervescence of the district during the sports fortnight, but also its renewal. The area is undergoing radical change, with old factories giving way to contemporary urban cultures and cultural venues. The hotel will be playing its part in this transformation by transforming a relic of the past, the Pleyel Tower, a 1970s skyscraper that was for a long time the tallest office tower north of the capital.

Emptied of its occupants for over a decade, stripped of asbestos and reinvented after three years of work, this tower is about to be reborn as a top-of-the-range hotel and is part of the Paris Pleyel urban projectone of the largest in Greater Paris. Owned by the project sponsor Pleyel Investissement, operated by the German H-Hotels group and marketed under the Wyndham brand, the hotel has everything it takes to become a focal point of the district. " Our ambition is to offer a top-of-the-range establishment for business travellers, globetrotters in search of leisure, as well as the city's residents and businesses." enthuses Thomas Haas, CEO of H-Hotels.

Skybar, catering based on local products and short circuits, swimming pool, fitness centre: the hotel offers a wide range of possibilities to satisfy all expectations. But it is undoubtedly the business clientele that will be the first to be targeted. The H4 Hotel Wyndham Paris Pleyel will featurea large convention centre which can accommodate nearly 2,700 people. This 4,500 m² MICE venue includes a vast 1,175 m² plenary hall with an eight-metre high ceiling. Organisers will also find a host of meeting rooms - 16 in all - equipped with the latest technology, making it ideal for all types of event, from major conventions to product launches and gala dinners.

Another of the hotel's key features in attracting business events is its large capacity, with 697 rooms and suites divided into five categories, including a 129 m² presidential suite with panoramic views from the 37th floor. All these rooms have been designed by Axel Schoenert, the agency responsible for the design and interior architecture, combining an industrial, classic and urban aesthetic, with black metallic finishes, Hungarian-style parquet flooring and Street Art-style furniture. This contemporary ambience will be reflected in the hotel's public areas, highlighting the district's past, here using elements of the original tower, and there combining raw, industrial materials with more noble ones.

The H4 Hotel Wyndham Paris Pleyel will also offer another major advantage for organisers and visiting business travellers alike, its accessibility. When it opens in the spring, the hotel will be served only by metro line 13 and, a little further on, by RER line B to Paris CDG, but the inauguration in June 2024 of Saint-Denis Pleyel station, the largest in Greater Paris, will expand the range of possibilities. Equivalent in size to Châtelet-les-Halles or Saint-Lazare, this station, just a three-minute walk away, will connect passengers to the centre of Paris in less than 15 minutes.
