For seminars and training courses, the hotel offers five meeting rooms, including an auditorium, as well as five sub-commission rooms and an amphitheatre. With its small terraces and tree-lined courtyard, this charming venue is also ideal for cocktail parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While hoping to win over a local clientele that appreciates the French touch, we are going to capitalise on our recognition with French companies that have subsidiaries in Asia,\" explains Philippe Roye, Ch\u00e2teauform''s head of China. Especially as training is a key issue in China. Large companies need to retain their managers in a labour market characterised by high staff turnover. In addition, the slowdown in growth will increase the need to create strong corporate cultures in order to stand out from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But this first opening in the heart of Beijing will soon be complemented by a second with a seminar house an hour's drive from the Chinese capital, near the Great Wall. \"A year ago, Tessa, Jacques Horowitz's daughter, and I set off to meet our partners Legend of Tourism. This state-owned company is developing a special tourist zone in Badaling, near the Great Wall. It's there, on the mountainside, that a hotel with around fifty rooms will open in September\".\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A meeting venue in the city centre and a seminar centre outside: this strategy of opening two establishments almost simultaneously should be repeated in Shanghai by early 2016. Ch\u00e2teauform' is looking at several possible locations in the city - in the French Concession, near the Bund, on the Expo 2010 site, etc. - and, as in Beijing, also plans to develop a seminar centre outside Shanghai, probably near Suzhou.<\/p>\n<p>However, the group's future does not lie only in such distant horizons. In France, Ch\u00e2teauform' recently opened a seminar house near Auvers sur Oise, the Ch\u00e2teau de M\u00e9ry. In spring 2015, a second Campus - the group's mid-range seminar concept - will open near Fontainebleau, called Ch\u00e2teau de C\u00e9ly. Then, in the second half of 2015, Chateauform will set up for the first time in the south-east of France, in Chateauneuf, not far from Avignon and Marseille, whereas until now the group has only been present outside the Paris region near Lyon and Bordeaux. The Paris region will also see a new opening, with a seminar centre at the Royaumont abbey palace, with 69 rooms and 12 meeting rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, next year, other seminar houses are also expected to open abroad, first in March at Schloss Krickenbeck, near D\u00fcsseldorf, almost on the German-Dutch border. Ch\u00e2teauform' will then move to Blakemoore House in North London. And then there's Marrakech at the end of the year, with a facility designed for leisure activities during the holidays, but also for corporate events outside these periods.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Ch\u00e2teauform', which specialises in hosting meetings in the great outdoors with its 'seminar houses', is also continuing to develop venues for meetings without accommodation in major cities. In Paris, after opening Les Jardins de Saint Dominique in the 7th arrondissement in 2013, the group inaugurated a Ch\u00e2teauform' City in the CNIT at La D\u00e9fense in early October, closer to its customers based in the Paris business district. But since the future of all these multinationals is now being played out in Asia, the future of Chateauform' logically lies in China. At the very beginning of this year, the group founded by Katie and Jacques Horowitz, who died this summer, will open its first Chateauform' City in Beijing, in an old house with a traditional square courtyard, a 'shiheyuan' dating from the 14th century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[1015],"type-darticle":[],"n_magazine":[],"class_list":["post-40181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hotellerie","tag-asie","vapo-free"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Les ambitions chinoises de Ch\u00e2teauform&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans l&#039;accueil des r\u00e9unions au grand vert avec ses \u201cmaisons du s\u00e9minaire\u201d, Ch\u00e2teauform&#039; poursuit aussi le d\u00e9veloppement, au sein des grandes m\u00e9tropoles, de lieux de r\u00e9unions sans h\u00e9bergement.
