The renewal of the Roi Ren\u00e9, more precisely the Grand H\u00f4tel Roi Ren\u00e9 Aix-en-Provence \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/sofitel-mgallery-dynamique\/\">MGallery <\/a>Collection, was celebrated on 28 May. And as proof of the event's importance, the Mayor of the town made the journey to bear witness to the attachment of the people of Aix to this \u00ab&nbsp;<em>Caption&nbsp;<\/em>\". \"&nbsp;<em>This new hotel is magnificent<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb enthused Sophie Joissains on Thursday evening. \u00ab&nbsp;<em>It has its rightful place, obviously, in the attractiveness that we are so envied for within the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne, and even more so within the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur region.&nbsp;<\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before being able to open this new chapter in its history, the Roi Ren\u00e9 had to undergo a total renovation: more than a year of work was necessary. And while the establishment managed to remain operational during this period, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Convention, Events) activities were put on hold for about six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/elisabeth-mendes-grand-hotel-roi-rene-aix-en-provence\/\" data-id=\"223789\">\"Restoring this iconic location to its former nobility\": E.

The number of rooms has remained almost unchanged, as has the space allocated to MICE. However, the event spaces and the 131 rooms, including 6 suites, have undergone a makeover that clearly signifies an upgrade for the 4-star hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-couleurs-locales\">Local colour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new aesthetic for Le Roi Ren\u00e9 is by Fabien Roque. The interior designer and decorator, who regularly collaborates with the Accor group \u2013 among others \u2013 wanted to pay homage to Provence, through a play of natural colours: terracotta, olive green, beige, and shades of wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabien Roque also drew on the work of various artists, including ceramicist Marie Lev\u00eaque. This was all combined with high-quality materials and bespoke furniture, thus contributing to the establishment's upscale positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/mgallery-transformation-biarritz\/\" data-id=\"203951\">MGallery Collection: successful transformation in Biarritz<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>As Aix-en-Provence aims to establish itself as \"&nbsp;<em>a four-season destination<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb according to Sophie Joissains, business tourism is set to play a major role in the future. The Roi Ren\u00e9's MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities are therefore crucial. The establishment is equipped with five meeting rooms, covering a total area of 230 m\u00b2 in plenary format, with movable partitions that allow for the combination of several rooms. \u00ab&nbsp;<em>When you open everything up, it's quite grand.

In addition to this seminar area, the establishment has planned different \"spots\" in the lobby and the new A\u00efga restaurant that can attract professionals, again by playing on the modularity of the spaces with soundproof curtains. The patio can also be privatised. It was indeed here, next to the (14m) swimming pool and its \"French Riviera\" furniture, that the celebrations linked to the renewal of King Ren\u00e9 were held.&nbsp;<em>You can have leisure clientele and accommodate seminars without realising it.
