Key points
- In town (Aix, Marseille, Avignon): direct access by train, large capacities, ideal for a day meeting.
- In the countryside (Luberon, Alpilles, Camargue): calm, character, often available for exclusive hire for a residential seminar.
- Check the number of single rooms and the meeting room in your layout: these are the two criteria that rule out the most hotels.
Choosing a conference hotel
- Enough bedrooms for the whole group, and enough single rooms
- A plenary room suited to your layout (theatre, U-shape, workshops)
- Breakout rooms if you work in groups
- Catering on site, with a private area for meals
- Transfer time from the TGV station or the airport
- Outdoor spaces for breaks and activities
- The option of booking the whole hotel exclusively above a certain number of rooms

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a conference hotel and an exclusive-hire venue?
A hotel has other guests during your corporate retreat, but offers full services (catering, bedrooms, staff on site). An estate or mas (Provençal farmhouse) on exclusive hire reserves the whole venue for you: more privacy, often fewer services. Some hotels can be booked exclusively above a certain number of rooms.
How much does a corporate retreat in a hotel in Provence cost?
Published examples: meeting package from €55 incl. VAT per person at the Relais des Brasseurs (Aubagne), day meeting at €60 at the Grand Hôtel d’Orange, at €62 at La Sommellerie (Châteauneuf-du-Pape), from €75 at the Hameau des Baux. Recorded on 11 November 2026.
