Hôtel Ariane

This Belle Époque property commands the main avenue of a riverside town, its ornamental ironwork and bay windows announcing its provenance at every floor. Fifty to one hundred twenty guests occupy ballroom and salon spaces separated by sliding doors, allowing the event to expand or contract depending on guest flow. Marble fireplaces and coffered ceilings frame ceremonies, while the restaurant handles reception service from a separate kitchen. A loading dock permits vendors to arrive and depart without crossing guest circulation spaces, a detail that shapes the event's tempo.
