What is a hotel broker?
A hotel broker is a professional who sources and negotiates the hotels and venues for your corporate events. They put at your disposal a network of partners, selected over the years to deliver any type of event.
My services are entirely free for the companies I work with: I am paid directly by my network of partner hotels, never by you.
The result: you save time and make substantial savings — on average 20 to 25% per event.
François Louvel, your broker
Day to day, you have to deal with the difficulties of:
- Organising a seminar, a study day, a convention, a product launch… or any other event.
- Organising an event in a city you do not know, with no time to visit a venue you are considering or that has been recommended to you.
You are short of time or ideas when it comes to: finding a destination and a venue, meeting a brief, satisfying your management’s requirements, dealing with contacts who are slow to respond, or decoding hotel jargon (zip-and-link beds, theatre, classroom or boardroom layouts…).
That is exactly where I come in. I specialise in particular in medical-sector events — seminars, congresses, conferences and symposiums — where every venue is rigorously assessed so that it fully meets the standards of the sector.
I have a thorough command of the French “DMOS” law, known as the “anti-gift” law, which governs relations between industry and healthcare professionals.
In practical terms, I keep a directory of venues that meet the requirements of this law, so that your healthcare events are always beyond reproach.
Save time and money.
Comparing offers, choosing between several options, checking that a room really suits your event… all of that takes time.
A meeting or reception venue has to be visited, studied and known inside out before you can make the most of it: that has been my job for 25 years.
With me, you benefit from the preferential rates negotiated with the venues — a service at no cost to you that saves precious time in days that are already full.
Let me organise your corporate event.
Put me to the test and judge for yourself: I always stick to the budget set or hoped for.
I work with small, medium-sized and large companies as well as with associations and public bodies.
Over the years I have earned a reputation as an expert within the hotel industry, in France and internationally. The trust my clients place in me is the best proof of that expertise.
