Hotel openings in Paris and the Ile-de-France region in 2024

The main business hotels expected in the Paris region in 2024

After recovering one of its largest - and highest - business hotels, the Pullman MontparnasseParis is about to welcome back another of its leading business establishments: the Marriott Paris Rive Gauche. The historic PLM Saint-Jacques, which opened in the early 1970s, has been owned by the American group since 2006. Closed since the pandemic, the hotel is best known to Parisian business travellers and companies for its conference centre, which covers almost 5,000 m² and is one of the largest in the capital. After three years of works, guests will be able to meet there again in the first quarter of 2024.

But with the Olympic Games set to dominate the current year, Paris's business hotel sector will be able to boast of a new high spot outside the ring road, in Saint Denis. Right next to the Stade de France and the athletes' village. A legacy of the 1970s, the Pleyel Tower, a huge office skyscraper, is gradually being transformed into a top-of-the-range hotel, helping to revitalise the city.

A swimming pool as if weightless in the Paris skies, a skybar perched 125 m high: the H4 Hotel Wyndham Paris Pleyel has a lot to offer visitors. But business travellers will be particularly impressed by its accessibility - line 14 will arrive practically at its feet - while meeting organisers will find it an ideal venue for all types of events, with 697 rooms and suites and a 4,500 m² convention centre, comprising a vast plenary hall and a total of 16 meeting rooms.

Higher, faster, stronger. The Wyndham group will be using the Olympic motto in its own way in 2024. Its Dolce brand, which for many years ran a MICE hotel in Chantilly, now under the Mercure banner, will once again play an important role in the corporate seminar landscape. This time in the Yvelines, at Jouy-en-Josas, in the heart of a historic site, the Domaine du Montcel. The birthplace of the famous toile de Jouy and the Oberkampf family, this estate dates back to the 18th century.^e The Fondation Cartier was once housed here. Several monumental works by César and Arman can still be seen scattered around the grounds.

Renovated as a top-of-the-range hotel, the estate is now preparing to house the 178 rooms of the Dolce by Wyndham Versailles. It's the perfect venue for corporate events and seminars in the great outdoors, with its 1,800 m² conference centre comprising 18 rooms of all sizes, including a ballroom that can accommodate up to 450 people for cocktails and opens onto a beautiful terrace.

Chantilly is another favourite destination for business meetings, and next summer will see the revival of the Château Hôtel Mont Royal. Formerly in the hands of the Tiara group, the establishment was taken over last year and will now feature the InterContinental luxury brand after a period of renovation. Without detracting from the charm of this former Louis XVI style hunting lodge built at the beginning of the 20th^e century, nor the five hectares of forest that surround it. All of these original assets, combined with the chic of the IHG Group's brand, will make the hotel a choice address for top-of-the-range seminars. L'InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal will offer around a hundred rooms, two restaurants and 10 fully-equipped lounges for up to 250 people, plus two large terraces for pleasant outdoor breaks.
