From Grand Gestures to Smart Solutions: The Art of Meetings at Raffles, SLS and ibis

At Accor, our hotels are designed to match every mood, fit every budget, and tell every story. Whether you need timeless sophistication, a dash of bold creativity, or just smart, simple logistics, we help you shape experiences that truly resonate.

Raffles, SLS Hotels & Residences and ibis each bring a completely different flavour to the world of meetings and events. They have three distinct styles, united by the same powerful promise: to bring your vision to life and turn every plan into a moment worth remembering.

From Grand Gestures to Smart Solutions: The Art of Meetings at Raffles, SLS and ibis

Every meeting tells a story – the only question is what is the story you want to tell?

Some moments sparkle beneath a crystal chandelier, and others are better off around a long table with strong coffee and even stronger ideas. Whatever the scale, the very best events all have one thing in common: they make people feel something.

Raffles: Where Timeless Elegance Meets Tailored Perfection

For over a century, the name Raffles has been synonymous with grandeur, culture, and celebration. This is where great minds have gathered, where iconic ideas have taken flight, and where the memories last long after the night is over.

At Raffles, meetings are never just organized, they’re orchestrated. Every gathering is treated as a performance, choreographed with intuition, beauty and incredible care. The architecture inspires, the service anticipates, and the result is unforgettable.

A Legacy Reimagined in London

Imagine stepping into Raffles London at The OWO. History quite literally greets you at the door. Set within a grand Edwardian Baroque landmark in Whitehall, once home to Britain’s most powerful offices, the hotel feels at once majestic and modern.

Its Whitehall Ballroom is pure theatrical magic: 678 square metres of soaring ceilings and natural light, ready for your most impressive conference, gala dinner, or product launch. For smaller, more flexible sessions, the Morse & Code rooms, can be shaped into six intimate spaces or combined for a full-on creative session. You’re meeting with walls that birthed MI5 and MI6, but the energy feels fresh, ready for today’s visionaries.

Parisian Artistry at Le Royal Monceau

Across the Channel, Raffles Le Royal Monceau – Paris offers that uniquely Parisian je ne sais quoi: an effortless blend of art, design, and charm. Reimagined by the legendary Philippe Starck, this is a hotel that turns your business meetings into something truly beautiful.

The three Salons, with 147 square metres of adaptable space, are perfect for elegant dinners, cocktail evenings or team workshops. And when the meeting pauses, guests can explore the hotel’s own art gallery. A gentle reminder that creativity thrives when you make room for inspiration.

At Le Royal Monceau, every tiny detail feels deliberate, from the scent in the air to the gleam of the glassware. It’s a masterclass in making people feel at ease while still feeling inspired.

Warsaw: History Reborn with Quiet Elegance

Let’s talk about the Raffles Europejski Warsaw. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a story of revival and refinement. This 19th-century icon has been completely reborn as a contemporary masterpiece, perfectly blending rich Polish history with a quiet, modern elegance.

Its three meeting spaces are incredibly flexible, easily adjusting from an intimate boardroom setting to a grander configuration. They’re backed by the latest technology and, crucially, a dedicated team that makes flawless precision look effortless.

But the real magic is what’s outside the meeting rooms. The Europejski Art Collection, featuring nearly 500 works by 120 artists, transforms the entire hotel into a living gallery where your guests are surrounded by inspiration.

Take the Pavilion Place – flooded with natural light and filled with lush greenery, it’s the ideal spot for a beautiful dinner, a reception, or a private celebration where people feel instantly at ease, as if they’ve stepped into a sophisticated home. It’s that rare kind of space where time seems to slow down, giving your ideas room to breathe.

At Raffles, your events don’t just run smoothly; they leave a mark.

SLS: Where Business Meets Bold Creativity

Some meetings stick to tradition. Others throw out the rulebook and rewrite it. SLS Hotels & Residences lives entirely in that second world.

Born from the creative energy of the SBE group and now part of the Ennismore–Accor family, SLS brings an electric mix of vibrant design, playful curiosity, and polished sophistication. This is where business blends with theatre, where presentations come with personality, and galas turn into moments of magic.

SLS Barcelona: A Waterfront Wonderland

Making its European debut, SLS Barcelona captures everything the brand stands for: confidence, flair and a dash of rebellion. Set just steps from the sea, it’s where Mediterranean light meets urban energy.

You’ll find over 1,200 square meters of event space, including the Grand Gala Ballroom, a 770 m² expanse that glows with daylight and can host up to 750 guests. Smaller, flexible Spotlight and Limelight rooms are perfect for breakouts or brainstorming sessions.

Plus, a commitment to sustainability, solar panels, natural materials, and zero single-use plastics, ensures the experience feels as good as it looks.

At SLS, you don’t just host an event – you create an experience. It’s the perfect fit for brands that want to be remembered not for playing it safe, but for standing out.

ibis: Smart, Social and Accessible

Not every event needs chandeliers. Sometimes, what matters most is connection: a place where ideas flow easily and logistics simply work. That’s where ibis shines.

Since 1974, ibis has made good hospitality accessible to everyone. Reliable, comfortable, and cleverly designed, it’s the trusted choice for meetings that need simplicity without sacrifice.

Space to Gather, Everywhere You Go

In London, the ibis London Earls Court proves that running a massive event doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank. With an impressive 18 meeting rooms and a huge total of 2,114 square meters of space, it’s one of the largest venues in its category. Need serious scale? The London Suite alone can host up to 1,200 guests. It’s the ideal place for those big conventions and corporate gatherings that require immense capacity and breezy connectivity. Everything just works, allowing you to focus on your content, not the logistics.

In Paris, ibis Paris 17 Clichy Batignolles brings a touch of modernity to the capital’s northwest. Its 19 flexible rooms (totalling over 1,000 m²) include the 225 m² Monceau Room, ideal for mid-sized events. A location close to transport and city life makes it a favourite for business travellers who want everything within reach.

If your team is craving fresh air, look no further than ibis Styles Aix-les-Bains Domaine de Marlioz. This location beautifully combines essential meetings spaces with mountain calm. With 15 rooms and an on-site spa near both Geneva and Annecy, it’s the perfect choice for wellness retreats or incentive trips designed to truly balance hard work with deep relaxation. It’s where your team can brainstorm one minute and de-stress the next.

And for those smaller, focused sessions, the ibis Budget Millau Viaduc keeps things perfectly simple and efficient. With four compact meeting rooms that can host up to 40 people, it offers proof that good ideas do not need grand spaces to thrive. It’s smart, focused, and gets the job done without any fuss.

Three Brands, Three Meeting Philosophies

Choosing between Raffles, SLS and ibis isn’t just about style – it’s about the kind of experience you want to create.

Raffles is the Storyteller: Refined, graceful and quietly confident. Every scent, artwork and gesture is chosen with care – creating an experience that feels personal, poetic and lasting.

SLS is the Visionary: Playful, daring and full of life. It’s where business meets creativity, where emotion fuels inspiration, and every detail is designed to surprise and engage.

ibis is the Essentialist: Smart, straightforward and people-focused. With thoughtful service, clever design and reliable tech, it makes every organiser’s job easier and every guest feel right at home.

One Network, Infinite Possibilities

From the quiet artistry of Raffles to the daring flair of SLS and the approachable energy of ibis, Accor’s portfolio offers something unique: unmatched diversity.

Whether you’re hosting an executive retreat in London, a product launch overlooking the sea in Barcelona, or a regional training in Louvain-la-Neuve, MyALLMeeting connects you with the right team, the right tools, and the perfect place to make it happen.
